Clinton's comments, during a visit to Bangkok, came ahead of a regional security meeting in the Thai resort of Phuket, where the most contentious topics will likely be Pyongyang's nuclear program and how to promote democracy in Myanmar. "The threat that I have always worried about first and foremost is the proliferation of nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction," Clinton said in a television interview in Bangkok to be broadcast later. "So obviously we are very concerned about North Korea and recent reports about perhaps their dealings with what we call Burma." Talk of Myanmar-North Korea military ties was fueled after a North Korean ship, tracked by the United States in June and July on suspicion of carrying banned arms, appeared headed toward Myanmar before turning around. North Korea has a long history of arms proliferation and U.S. officials believe it helped Syria to build a nuclear reactor that was destroyed by Israeli bombers in 2007. On Tuesday Clinton said she was worried about the possibility of military links between the two countries, both regarded as pariahs in the West. She said such military cooperation would pose a direct threat to Myanmar's neighbors. Both North Korea and Myanmar are represented at the Phuket talks, although Pyongyang has only sent a low-level delegation. Clinton will consult regional players later on Wednesday in Phuket about giving North Korea a choice between tighter sanctions if it pursues its nuclear program and wider incentives if it abandons them, U.S. officials said. She plans separate meetings with the foreign ministers of China, Japan, Russia and South Korea to plot strategy on how to persuade North Korea to give up its nuclear ambitions. Those talks precede Asia's biggest annual security gathering, the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF), which takes place on Thursday. SANCTIONS FIRST In the last two months North Korea has conducted its second nuclear test, test-fired seven ballistic missiles and boycotted "six-party" talks on ending its nuclear programs in exchange for economic and diplomatic benefits. U.S. officials said their main focus was to carry out U.N. Security Council resolution 1874, which bans all North Korean arms exports, authorizes U.N. member states to inspect North Korean sea, air and land cargo and requires them to seize and destroy any goods transported in violation of the sanctions. However, they said they had discussed a wider package of incentives for the North from the other five parties if Pyongyang were to take credible steps on ending its nuclear program. Continued...
