Obama, Asian Leaders Meet to Discuss N. Korea Nuke Threat
President Barack Obama is meeting with key Asian leaders Thursday to put more pressure on North Korea's nuclear development.
His administration is hosting a fourth and final Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, with delegations from more than 50 countries and four international organizations.
Russian President Vladimir Putin will not attend the two-day summit.
Iran was not invited to the summit despite reaching a deal in U.S.-led negotiations last year on its nuclear program.
Washington will address concerns over North Korea's nuclear weapons program, following the regime's recent nuclear test and rocket launch.
Nuclear terrorism and ISIS also top the agenda.
Friction between the U.S. and China remain high following cybersecurity and maritime disputes, but the Obama administration was encouraged by China's role in passing a new UN sanction against North Korea and is reportedly pressing Beijing to implement those sanctions.
