Japanese PM warns of dangerous nuclear age

Japan’s new Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun held a summit today, with Abe calling for “harsh measures” against North Korea and warning of a “dangerous nuclear age” after its nuclear test.

“The development and possession of nuclear weapons by North Korea will in a major way transform the security environment in North Asia and we will be entering a new, dangerous nuclear age,” Abe said at a news conference after the one-hour summit in Seoul.
