Nuclear Security Summit ends in Seoul


The nuclear security summit in Seoul, South Korea, has wrapped up with world leaders renewing their commitment to strengthen nuclear security and reduce the threat of nuclear terrorism.
A communiqué issued at the end of the two-day meeting was light on specifics on
how to reduce the risk of atomic materials falling the wrong hands, but called for all vulnerable material to be secured in four years.
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon set out five areas for collective action at the Summit: 1) bold steps to bridge the trust gap; 2) emergency response, disaster risk reduction and resilience building; 3) boosting the UN’s role; 4) a stronger partnership with the nuclear industry and civil society; and 5) progress on nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation.
