Speaking to reporters after the meeting Lee Myung Bak said,
“Our three countries agreed that we will not accept further nuclear tests or further provocations from North Korea,”
Warning of "unstable" elements in the region, Wen Jiabao said,
“The various parties need to use their wisdom, keep patient, and display goodwill to the greatest extent so as to ease confrontation and return to the right track of dialogue and negotiations.”
Yoshihiko Noda said,
“We should further prevent provocations of North Korea in the future and strengthen co-operation among the three countries in this regard,”
