SEOUL, May 26 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday it was in the interests of the international community, including China, to persuade North Korea to change its ways.
She told reporters during a brief visit in the South Korean capital that the crisis brought on by the North’s sinking of a South Korean warship required a strong but measured response and said Washington was considering additional options to hold Pyongyang accountable.
"There is the immediate crisis caused by the sinking of the naval vessel which requires a strong but measured response, but there is a longer-term challenge of changing the direction of North Korea."
