The two diplomats also exchanged views on bilateral relations and other regional and global issues.
They had a phone discussion while US-South Korean joint drills were underway. North Korea conducted its 4th nuclear test in January and launched a long-range rocket carrying a satellite in February, believed by the West to be a ballistic missile test.
