In a dialogue between Obama and Scannell, Obama spoke of his Hiroshima
visit, North Korea, his ideal for denuclearization, the environment, Brexit and
his experience as president.
He
said, “North Korea is a real threat. Our view has always been that we would
prefer to resolve these issues peacefully…The country continues nuclear
development and will conduct more nuclear experiments.”
It
should also be kept in mind that Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in
2009 “for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and
cooperation between peoples.” Also, he gave a memorial speech in Prague where
he urged world leaders to work toward creating a nuclear arms-free world.
When speaking on his experiences as president, he said he enjoyed
being surrounded by young people with selflessness and innovative minds for creating
a better world.
Dr.Handa said John Key much contributed to making the summit a
reality, since he was the first person to ask Obama to join the summit as part
of Obama’s Asia-Pacific tour.
