World leaders eye new direction in tackling nuclear terror

MANY of the 53 countries involved in the Nuclear Security Summit (NSS) - organised every two years since 2010 - feel it's time to set a new direction for how the world should meet to discuss the threat of nuclear terrorism.

Speaking to the Singapore media in The Hague after attending the two-day summit, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said that the participating nations would like the work to continue, but it was necessary to also consider what would be the most appropriate way in which the leaders can get involved.

"A lot of the work is very technical, so the leaders really have to go by the experts' advice. There are also other issues that we have to attend to.
