US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said Washington is "very seriously" concerned about military co-operation between North Korea and Burma.
Arriving in Thailand ahead of a forum on regional security, she said the relationship was a threat to stability.
She also condemned Burma's treatment of jailed pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
Foreign ministers from the Asean grouping, as well as EU and US envoys, are meeting on Wednesday in Thailand.
"We know there are also growing concerns about military co-operation between North Korea and Burma, which we take very seriously," Mrs Clinton said after meeting Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva in the Thai capital, Bangkok.
"It would be destabilising for the region, it would pose a direct threat to Burma's neighbours," she said.
