South Korean president Lee Myung-bak has said Seoul will take North Korea to the UN Security Council over the deadly sinking of the warship Cheonan in March.

In an address to the nation on Thursday, Mr Lee said that Seoul will also suspend all exchange programs with Pyongyang except for a joint factory park in the North.

He said South Korea is prepared to defend against any future provocation.
