Kerry urges North Korea to join regional dialogue
The US will do what is necessary to defend our allies against these provocations, but our choice is to negotiate; US Secretary of State John Kerry
US Secretary of State John Kerry has called on North Korea's leaders to "come to the table in a responsible way" to end regional tensions.
Speaking in Tokyo, the fourth and final stop on his Asian tour, Mr Kerry warned North Korea it risked further isolation if its threats continued.
He also reaffirmed the US commitment to defend its allies, including Japan.
The countries he had visited were united in seeking the denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula, he said.
On Friday Mr Kerry visited South Korea, and on Saturday he was in China, whose leaders he has said are "very serious" in their pledge to help reduce tensions - and to help end the North Korean nuclear programme.
Speculation has been building that the North is preparing a missile launch, following reports that it has moved at least two Musudan ballistic missiles to its east coast.
