    Obama worried about North Korea and Russia

    In spite of all the progress made, US President said that further negotiations needed to be made with Russia for nuclear reductions.

    Russia- one of the world's biggest nuclear power boycotted the summit.

    Further, Obama said that dealing with North Korea's nuclear ambitions was another need of the hour.

    Obama agreed that complete nuclear disarmament "perhaps will not happen in my lifetime."
