N.Korea on a ”campaign” of dangerous behaviour: Clinton
HANOI: US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Friday accused North Korea of a “campaign” of provocation as an Asia-Pacific security forum descended into recriminations over tensions on the Korean peninsula. A North Korean spokesman reacted by warning of a “physical response” to new US sanctions and condemned massive US-South Korean naval exercises due to begin Sunday in the Sea of Japan as “gunboat diplomacy”. “Here in Asia, an isolated and belligerent North Korea has embarked on a campaign of provocative, dangerous behavior,” Clinton said in prepared remarks to foreign ministers gathered at the region’’s biggest security dialogue. “Peaceful resolution of the issues on the Korean peninsula will be possible only if North Korea fundamentally changes its behaviour.” Clinton is expected to ask China to do more to rein in its communist ally during talks later Friday with Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi.
