President Moon Jae-in and British Prime Minister Theresa May have agreed to closely work together for a peaceful and fundamental resolution of the North Korean nuclear issue, while taking stern measures against the North’s provocations.
 
The presidential office said that the two leaders reached the agreement in a summit held on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York on Tuesday.
 
During the summit, President Moon appreciated Britain's active role in adopting and implementing the UN Security Council resolutions on North Korea as a permanent member of the UNSC.
 
In response, May reportedly stressed the need for the international community to take concerted measures, calling North Korean nuclear and missile provocations a grave threat to peace not only in Northeast Asia but the entire world.
