U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says military cooperation between North Korea and Burma would be very destabilizing for the region, and would pose a direct threat to Burma's neighbors. She says Washington is taking regional concerns about this connection "very seriously."

Clinton addressed the concerns on Tuesday in Bangkok after meeting Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva. She will join a regional security conference in Phuket on Wednesday.
North Korea's possible cooperation with Burma made headlines in June, when the U.S. Navy began tracking a North Korean ship believed to be traveling to Burma with suspicious cargo. The ship returned to North Korea without ever docking in Burma.
Clinton says the United States is open to a productive partnership with Burma if the military government ends the mistreatment of jailed democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi and other political and minority groups.
