Nuclear Security is a series of preemptive measures introduced to prevent internal and/or external threats directly or indirectly related to nuclear materials, radioactive substances, relevant facilities or other associated activities. In the case of imminent threat, it consists of countermeasures to detect, delay and prevent illegal acts, as well as administrative and technical measures to minimize the damage caused by accidents.

So, the 2012 서울 핵안보정상회의 or this Summit is an important action or summit for the world.
I learn that as many as 58 leaders of states attend the summit held in Seoul.
*From the official website of the summit, I also learned that 58 head delegates (54 from participating countries and 4 from international organizations) attend the summit from March 26-27, 2012.
The summit will bring together forty five leaders, including those of the Republic of Korea, the host of the Summit, the US, China, Japan, Russia, India, Indonesia, France, the UN and the EU with 13 countries to be represented by their Deputy Prime Ministers of Foreign Ministers on behalf of their leaders.
*This is the largest ever number of leaders will visit the ROK for the Seoul Summit. The head delegates from 20 countries including the leaders of 12 countries, such as the Netherlands, Spain, Chile and Thailand, will make their first-ever visit to the country. Meanwhile, the leaders of Lithuania, Italy and three other countries will be visiting the ROK for the first time since taking office.
*Seventeen of the participating leaders will be accompanied by their spouses for whom events separate from the Summit have been arranged. Upon the completion of the formal meeting on March 27, the leaders and their spouses from 39 countries will enjoy the special dinner with cultural performances to be hosted by President and Mrs. Lee Myung-bak.
Now, it comes as a surprise to myself..as to why President Yudhoyono comes here. It is a good and great thing of course..considering the important role of Indonesia nowadays. In term of the bilateral ties between Indonesia and Korea, I could proudly say that this is the lucrative and harmonious moment of the two countries which have become closer thanks to their cultural and economic cooperation.
*Still...Indonesia's visit and attendance to the Summit does indicate that Indonesia could have/must have something to do with this nuclear-stuffs. Be it...Indonesia's decision to build nuclear energy plants.....which I think....Korea would be more than willing to take part or be a part of it...because it will be (once again) a tremendous economic partnership. ^^ Isn't so?
As long as it would be for the best and the good purpose,....why not. I am all for it.

| an Ad about the summit on subway |
I took this picture on March 24, 2012 while riding a subway back home.
Korean people should be reminded or at least be well informed about this huge-scale Summit in Korea this year.
Nice job!
