Amid talks that Bill Clinton's successful visit to North Korea opens up a new door of its engagement with the US, President Barack Obama has said it was just a humanitarian mission to seek the freedom of two jailed American reporters from the Communist nation.
Led by Obama himself the White House and the State Department including the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, had a tough time in responding to questions and queries if this could yield in broader engagement between the US and North Korea.
"We were very clear that this was a humanitarian mission. President Clinton was going on behalf of the families to get these young journalists out," Obama told the NBC news channel in an interview.
"We have said to the North Koreans there is a path for improved relations, and it involves them no longer developing nuclear weapons and not engaging in the provocative behaviour that they've been engaging in," Obama reiterated.
