(3rd LD) Second nuke test by N. Korea would lead to 'consequences': Bosworth
By Lee Chi-dong
SEOUL, May 8 (Yonhap) -- The senior U.S. nuclear envoy on Friday dismissed North Korea's recent claim that the Obama administration is hostile towards Pyongyang, saying Washington is continuing efforts for bilateral and multilateral dialogue with the communist nation,
On a trip here highlighted by the North's renewed threats to bolster its nuclear arsenal, Stephen Bosworth made clear that if North Korea puts its threats into action, it will face "consequences."
"If the North Koreans decide to carry out a second nuclear test, we will deal with the consequences of that, and there will be consequences," Bosworth told reporters after talks with South Korean Foreign Minister Yu Myung-hwan on ways to resume the six-way talks on Pyongyang's nuclear program. The negotiations also involve China, Russia, and Japan.
Bosworth said he and the minister discussed "possible steps forward" in the stalled denuclearization process but refused to elaborate.
