"They violate North Korea's commitment at the international level", - said the US leader. Subsequent DPRK provocation of the authorities will lead to greater pressure of the international community and further isolation of the country. This was stated in Laosby US President Barack Obama after negotiations with the leader of the Republic of Korea (RoK) Park Geun-hye. "North Korea must know that the provocations will only lead to even greater pressure and further strengthening of its isolation. But if the authorities of North Korea are willing to recognize its international obligations and the need for the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, there are opportunities for our dialogue. We are not interested in an aggressive approach toward North Korea", - said US president.

Obama said that one of the main topics of the talks with President of the Republic of Korea have been recent "provocative" missile test of Pyongyang.

"They violate North Korea's commitment at the international level. Its nuclear and missile programs pose a threat not only for Republic of Korea, but also Japan and other allies and partners in the region and the United States.", - Said the head of the White House. He pointed out that Washington and Seoul would "actively cooperate on the latest UN sanctions that were imposed” (against North Korea).

As informed the Republic of Korea president's press service, Pak Geun-hye and Obama will continue contacts with China in the context of North Korea's missile and nuclear programs.
