Lee to Attend Nuclear Security Summit in US

President Lee Myung-bak will leave tomorrow for Washington DC to attend the Nuclear Security Summit.

The summit, to be held Monday and Tuesday, is the first of its kind seeking a joint response to nuclear terrorism. Leaders from 47 countries including the U.S., Russia and China will attend.

Lee will deliver South Korea’s commitment to contribute to nuclear security and plans to expand the nation’s role in that area through four meetings with heads of other nations.

During his visit to the U.S., Lee also plans a bilateral summit with the head of the United Arab Emirates, with which Lee has recently signed an agreement to export a nuclear power plant.

Also, in the 60th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War, Lee will hold a meeting with Korean War veterans and pay respects to their Memorial.
