SEOUL, Jan 3 (Reuters) - South Korean President Lee Myung-bak warned on Monday any military aggression by North Korea would be met with strong and stern response but added the door to dialogue remained open.

Lee said in a nationally televised New Year address that it was up to the North to show it was serious about dialogue and that Seoul was willing to offer economic aid. (Reporting by Jack Kim; Editing by Yoo Choonsik)
