Credit: Reuters/Charles Oki/U.S. Navy//Handout By Andrew Quinn and Ambika Ahuja HANOI | Fri Jul 23, 2010 7:37am EDT HANOI (Reuters) - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urged Asia on Friday to enforce tough sanctions against North Korea, which hit back by threatening a "physical response" to Washington's plans for joint military drills with South Korea. Clinton, speaking in Hanoi at the Asia-Pacific's biggest security dialogue, also called on Myanmar's neighbors to pressure the country's military rulers for democratic reforms, and said Asia must join the global community in sending a "clear signal" to Iran to curb its nuclear ambitions. "One measure of the strength of a community of nations is how it responds to threats to its members, neighbors and region," Clinton told the 27-member ASEAN Regional Forum, which includes regional powers China, Japan and Russia along with the United States, European Union and Canada. Clinton unveiled new U.S. sanctions this week against North Korea, blamed by both Washington and Seoul for the March sinking of a South Korean warship that killed 46 sailors and sharpened tensions over Pyongyang's nuclear programme. A North Korean diplomat said Washington's new sanctions and the U.S.-South Korean drills would be met with a "physical response," and that charges it torpedoed the South's warship had pushed the divided Korean peninsula "to the brink of explosion." "There will be a physical response to the steps imposed by the United States militarily," Ri Tong-il, a member of Pyongyang's delegation in Hanoi, told reporters. The military exercises, he added, would violate North Korean sovereignty. The new sanctions target the ruling elite in the impoverished and isolated communist state and build on earlier U.N. sanctions that curbed trade with the North in hopes of persuading it to abandon its atomic ambitions. Clinton said it was essential Asian nations enforce the punitive measures to encourage North Korea "to take the steps it must" to stop nuclear development and seek real peace. She later told reporters Washington hoped for the day when Pyongyang was "less concerned about making threats and more concerned about making opportunities." JAPAN TO MONITOR MILITARY EXERCISES Japan waded into the crisis, announcing plans to send four Maritime Self Defense Forces officers to the U.S.-South Korea exercises off the west coast of the divided Korean peninsula as observers, responding to invitations from the two countries. This will be the first time Japan's self defense forces join a joint exercise by the United States and South Korea starting this weekend, a Defense Ministry spokeswoman said. The four officers will be aboard U.S. aircraft carrier George Washington. Clinton had hoped to rally regional support behind Seoul, but fell short of building consensus for a direct rebuke of Pyongyang. A senior U.S. administration official said the vast majority of countries at the Hanoi talks expressed regret over the sunken ship, but less than half were willing to condemn Pyongyang and potentially anger its powerful ally China. n Hanoi, North Korea's foreign minister repeatedly denied any involvement in the sinking, according to diplomats present at the closed-door talks. Clinton told reporters North Korea's belligerence prevented Washington from returning to six-party talks aimed at ending the North's nuclear weapons programme in return for generous aid. The naval exercises are the first overt military response to the attack on the warship. The United States has said they are a show of force meant to convince the North to curb its "aggressive behavior" and will take place in international waters. China has condemned the drills and launched its own exercises off its eastern coast. PRESSURE ON MYANMAR Clinton also urged Asia-Pacific ministers to put more pressure on Myanmar -- a member of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) which anchors the forum -- to enact real democratic reforms and allow elections later this year which will be both free and credible. President Barack Obama's administration has expressed frustration that, despite U.S. offers of greater engagement, Myanmar's military rulers have refused to budge on key demands. These include the release of an estimated 2,000 political prisoners, such as Nobel Peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi. It has also said it is concerned by reports that Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, is seeking North Korean help to develop its own nuclear programme, which, if true, could open an alarming new front in the battle against global proliferation. Clinton's visit to Hanoi is part of the Obama administration's broader effort to boost U.S. engagement with Asia, in part to counter the rising influence of China. Clinton also urged regional leaders to resolve longstanding territorial disputes over the South China Sea, which pit China against Vietnam and other regional countries in squabbles over the vast, potentially-oil rich maritime region.

Editing by Ron Popeski) World Politics North Korea Comments See All Comments (27) | Post Comment Jul 23, 2010 4:48am EDT Are we looking for another war then? It is time to look towards home and get away from being the worlds policeman. tbink Report As Abusive Jul 23, 2010 5:12am EDT Go ahead, North Korea! Start a war with the USA and then see where your just-a-little-larger-than-the-average-Walmart-supercenter will be afterwards. The constant threats from North Korea are just games, of course, but enough is enough. Go ahead, fire on a US Warship. RCMEDIA Report As Abusive Jul 23, 2010 5:32am EDT I think it is just rhetoric on the part of North Korea. RCMEDIA you must remember that we are at war with North Korea. In 1953 an armistice was signed, however the war never officially ended! This was a war that could not be won in the 50’s and most likely not won today! Quinsac Report As Abusive Jul 23, 2010 5:42am EDT So it’s tough love for N.Korea. Hilary has the right approach….and yes, there will always be threats made like this one from the dark side. “Stop them you must young Jedi…yes Master Yoda!” WakeUpWorld Report As Abusive Jul 23, 2010 5:50am EDT Remember China has North Korea’s back and they are a bit larger than the average Walmart Supercenter as well! Quinsac Report As Abusive Jul 23, 2010 6:12am EDT The last comment was excellent! The US not only should focus on matters at home, it also needs to hit an ATM to check its account balance. The US cannot afford a 3rd war no matter how easy it would be. A Policeman told me once that the most dangerous people in the world were “Crazy, Stupid, and Desperate”. Osama=Desperate / Saddam= Stupid / Kim= Crazy!!! The bottom line is that you have a crazy Police Chief in a small town that needs to be brought to heel by the Sheriff of the County. The Sheriff (China) needs to wake up and take ownership of its authorship, and shut this guy down once and for all. FerrariPilota Report As Abusive Jul 23, 2010 6:48am EDT Little larger than the average Walmart super centre? Its got the 4th largest army in the world of 1.2 – I’d think twice before taking them on, and that’s before China get involved! hanlane Report As Abusive Jul 23, 2010 6:57am EDT The US is being ostracized in Asia, not North Korea. Most of Asia considers the US a militaristic bully who fabricates tensions to justify it’s unwanted presence far from it’s own borders. Think of the Millions killed in Korea and Vietnam. do u really think anyone in Asia trusts the US? they may make official statements to pacify Washington but make no mistake, US military is reviled in Asia just as much as the Middle East and South America. These comments are ridiculously childish and ignorant. No one in Asia supports the US. If there is another conflict in Korea, South Koreans will side with North Korea against the US. Bring the troops home and dismantle the military complex, for the sake of the world. mockiavillian Report As Abusive Jul 23, 2010 7:57am EDT Perhaps Mrs. Clinton’s son-in-law to be should be in the front lines along with our soldiers if we do get a shooting incident with North Korea. It might tone her down a bit if she realizes people do die when things get out of hand…..and it could be a member of her family.
