HANOI (AFP) - US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has warned that North Korea has to do more to show it was committed to resuming crunch talks on dismantling its nuclear weapons drive.
"We need a concrete step forward," Rice said after joining ministers for talks dominated by the North Korean crisis on the sidelines of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation ( APEC) forum.
Other foreign ministers also kept up the pressure on the Stalinist regime, saying the negotiations had to show real progress when they restarted, or the world community would quickly lose faith in the process.
"I do think after having set off a nuclear test the North Koreans need to do something to demonstrate they actually are committed to denuclearization that goes beyond words," Rice told reporters after the meeting.
"I think there is some scepticism about that."
