Clinton heads for Burma after South Korea visit

Seoul/Naypyitaw - US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was travelling to Burma on Wednesday after a brief visit to South Korea in which she once again urged North Korea to work towards peace by stopping its controversial nuclear programme.

 

"The United States stands with our ally and we look to North Korea to take concrete steps that promote peace and stability and denuclearization," Clinton said in the South Korean city of Pusan, where she took part in a conference on international aid.
Her comments came shortly after Pyongyang said its efforts to build an experimental light-water nuclear reactor and low-enriched uranium were "progressing apace."//DPA
