North Korea to be focus of Nuclear Security Summit in US

United States moved to keep pressure on nuclear-armed North Korea and reassure China over the proposed deployment of a sophisticated anti-missile system to South Korea. 

After meeting with South Korean and Japanese allies at the start of the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington yesterday, President Barack Obama said there is a need to vigilantly enforce



the strong UN security measures against Pyongyang, following provocative nuclear and missile tests that violated several UN resolutions. 

Mr Obama kicked off the Summit by holding discussions with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and South Korean President Park Geun-Hye, followed by a separate sit-down with President Xi Jinping of China.
