  • Story Text: South Korea's President Moon Jae-in on Tuesday (July 4) said that he hopes North Korea will not cross the point of no return during a meeting with former British Prime Minister David Cameron in Seoul, after North Korea launched a ballistic missile.
    North Korea said on Tuesday it had successfully test-launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) for the first time, which flew a trajectory that experts said could allow a weapon to hit the U.S. state of Alaska.
    Cameron is visiting Seoul this week to attend a forum hosted by South Korea's Chosun Ilbo newspaper, which former U.S. president Barack Obama is also attending.
