World powers form united front against North Korea at nuclear summit

President Obama joined with the South Korean president and Japanese prime minister on Thursday to present a united front over what he called "provocations" committed by North Korea in its recent nuclear and missile tests. Obama held separate talks with President Xi Jinping of China on the sidelines of the global nuclear security summit in Washington, where they both agreed they wanted to see "full implementation" of the latest U.N. sanctions against Pyongyang. Xi said that while Washington and Beijing have disagreements in some areas, they have effective coordination on the North Korean issue.

We are united in our efforts to deter and defend against North Korean provocations. ... We have to work together to meet this challenge.

Obama

However, China, considered the most capable of influencing North Korea’s reclusive leadership, has said repeatedly that sanctions are not the solution and only a resumption of international talks can resolve the dispute with Pyongyang. The U.S. has sought to encourage improved ties between Seoul and Japan, its two biggest allies in Asia, given worries not only about North Korea but also an increasingly assertive China. Obama and Xi are also expected to touch on disputes in the South China Sea, where Beijing has occupied and is building on contested islands. Washington fears the islets and atolls may be used for military purposes.
