.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pledged Washington's support for South Korea and called on North Korea to end belligerent actions after meetings with President Lee Myung-bak and Foreign Minister Yu Myung-hwan on Wednesday.
"We will stand with you in this difficult hour and we will stand with you always," Clinton said at a news conference with Yu.
The meetings come at a time of high tensions on the Korean peninsula after Seoul blamed North Korea for the sinking in March of the South Korean warship Cheonan.
An official South Korean report has accused the communist North of firing a torpedo at the ship, killing 46 sailors.
Clinton said the international community has an obligation to respond to the alleged attack and promised to push the matter in the U.N. Security Council.
