Germany is "very worried" about the March sinking of a South Korean warship, Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said Wednesday, calling for an "appropriate" reaction from the international community, DPA reported.
Westerwelle made the comments while attending a ministerial meeting between the European Union and the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Madrid.
Germany regarded the sinking of the warship, allegedly by North Korea, as an "aggressive military act that cannot be justified in any way," Westerwelle said.
"Of course South Korea has our solidarity," the minister said, calling for an "appropriate and well thought-out" reaction from the international community.
