"At the crossroads"

Mrs. Clinton stressed that any negotiations must be significant.

"Intend not to reward the North only to return to the table," he said.

"No we will give them anything new for actions that have already agreed to take.""And there is no appetite for further protracted negotiations that will only take us right where we already have."

The Minister of foreign relations of North, Pak Ui-chun, said in comments released Sunday that the peninsula of Korea was now at "the crossroads of détente" and the vicious circle of escalating tension.

The countries involved, he added, should "make the best use of [the] opportunities for dialogue and a bold decision to settle the essential issue".
