U.S. President George W. Bush said Friday that his tough talks about the Democratic People' s Republic of Korea (DPRK) and Iran does not mean that the U.S. has abandoned any dialogue with the two countries.

"No, of course not," Bush said at the White House when asked about whether he has abandoned efforts to pursuing a peaceful dialogue with the DPRK and Iran.

The U.S. president made the remarks while welcoming visiting King Abdullah II of Jordan in the Oval Office.

"As I said in my speech, I hope nations hear our call and make right decisions," he said. "A wrong decision will be to continue to export weapons of mass destruction," he added.

In his first State of the Union speech delivered on Tuesday night, Bush used harsh languages against the DPRK, Iran and Iraq, accusing the three countries of seek weapons of mass destruction to threaten the U.S. and its allies.

All three countries rejected the accusations on the following day.
