"I'm concerned about its uranium enrichment activities as well as its nuclear testing and proliferation, its ballistic missile programs," Bush said during a news conference after meeting with South Korean President Lee Myung-bak.

"The best way to approach and answer those concerns is for there to be strong verification measures," Bush said.
