SEOUL, KOREA — The President met with security analysts and former policymakers including former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger on March 13 to discuss the latest issues pertaining to the 2012 Seoul Nuclear Security Summit. 

“Heads of a number of participating nations will proclaim the decision to reduce the use of Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) during the Seoul Nuclear Security Summit,” said The President during the luncheon meeting held at Cheong Wa Dae. “The upcoming summit is particularly meaningful in the way it not only discusses disarmament and non-proliferation but also delves into global nuclear security with a particular focus on measures for consolidated cooperation in protection of nuclear materials and related facilities, alongside the prevention of illicit trafficking of nuclear materials.”

The participants evaluated Korea as an exemplary nation for enjoying the peaceful use of nuclear energy, and praised its role as facilitator in building bridges between the nuclear haves and have-nots. Graham Allison, a leading political scientist, stressed the importance of the adopted communiqué being duly executed afterwards with the active participation of the international community. The President expressed his firm commitment to making the summit an instrumental platform for advanced worldwide action.
