The DPRK "is not going to get a different relationship with the United States while insulting and refusing dialogue with the Republic of Korea (South Korea)," Clinton said at a joint news conference with South Korean Foreign Minister Yu Myung-hwan following their talks here.
She also urged Pyongyang to carry out its commitment of denuclearization in an agreement reached in the six-party talks on the nuclear issue of the Korean Peninsula in 2006.
Clinton said the United States will cooperate with South Korea and other parties of the six-party talks to achieve denuclearization in the DPRK.
