World leaders have called for closer co-operation to
tackle the threat of nuclear terrorism at a summit on nuclear security in
Seoul. South Korean President Lee Myung-bak said nuclear terrorism
remained a "grave threat", while US President Barack Obama said
action was key. Chinese President Hu Jintao urged the group to work together on
the issue. The meeting has so far been dominated by North Korea's plan to
launch a rocket next month. North Korea says the long-range rocket will carry a
satellite. The US says any launch would violate UN resolutions and constitute a
missile test. Iran's nuclear programme was also on the minds of the summit
participants, with Mr Obama pledging to meet the leaders of Russia and China on
the sidelines to work towards a resolution.
