Hanoi (dpa) - Leaders of the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) are reluctant to denounce North Korea for its alleged sinking of the South Korean warship Cheonan, a regional foreign policy analyst said Wednesday.
Carlyle Thayer, of the Australian Defence Force Academy, said ASEAN leaders' diplomatic reluctance is consistent with what he called their longstanding policy of 'conflict avoidance.'
'When a conflict occurs between two parties, they keep their heads in the sand and want nothing to do with it,' Thayer said.
South Korea and the United States have accused North Korea of sinking the Cheonan, a claim supported by a South Korean-led team of international investigators.
The United Nations Security Council issued a unanimously approved statement on July 9 that condemned the March sinking without explicitly blaming North Korea.
The US and South Korea announced Tuesday they would conduct joint naval exercises next week.
In a joint statement released at the ASEAN Regional Forum in Hanoi, the bloc urged 'all parties concerned to exercise the utmost restraint' regarding the Cheonan sinking. But it did mention North Korea.
Thayer said Vietnam is particularly reluctant to make unilateral statements about the incident because it wants to ensure that the ASEAN meetings it is hosting are not marred by controversy.
Hanoi hopes to preserve its relations with North Korea and stay in 'America's good graces,' Thayer said.
After a meeting with South Korean officials, Deputy Prime Minister Truong Vinh Trong said Vietnam supported the Security Council's statement on the sinking.
Asked to comment on the planned US-South Korean naval exercises, Trong said, 'We are just following the information.'
US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton plans to attend the forum's sessions on Thursday and Friday.

GOOG is the stock market symbol for google on the NASDAQ stock exchange market.
From now on you “the original google kid” is nick named GOOG.
You have started it all, and now there are so many of your copycats, and we don’t know who is who.
So GOOG is for your only, ok Viet kid.
GOOG, years ago you were my neighbor and I told you several times not to let the horses fucking your big mouth, but you did not listen to me. Now look at what has happen to you; you stutter in public 2 to 3 and sometime 4 times before you can hear yourself talking. And you think that other people were like you. No kid, you are wrong, we are not messed up like you are, ok.
Your mouth and hearing are all fucked up. Your brain is functioning at 50% capacity and it keeps on declining…. I don’t want to mention about your sight and sense of smell, they are probably FUBR = fuck up beyond recognition.
Your breath stings, but I cannot figure out the strange pungent smell. Oh, it ought to be from those horses’ cum, heh. So, do us a favor, just shut it; people can smell it for miles when you are around. Can you smile for me; I like to see how many teeth you have left. ; )
Haha, I like that story of the kid named GOOG. Keep on entertain us, man.

I believe a proper inquiry would show that North Korea DID NOT sink that South Korean ship.
It would be very interesting to know who really did, and why!
Sen's government was afraid when it was strongly condemned the N. Korea for the incidence.
No need to Google, Thai whores are everywhere added by Google. The one is more fun Thai whores are on the Thai Monkey King videos. Thai Monkey King & Thai whores look great together.
