The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit wraps up Sunday with a statement condemning North Korea for conducting a nuclear test.

The statement, which was not put in writing, urges North Korea to resume negotiations in the aftermath of the reclusive country's nuclear test Oct. 9. Concerns over North Korea's nuclear threat dominated discussion at the economic summit.

Host Andrea Seabrook speaks with Don Gonyea in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Don Gonyea
You're most likely to find NPR's Don Gonyea on the road, in some battleground state looking for voters to sit with him at the local lunch spot, the VFW or union hall, at a campaign rally, or at their kitchen tables to tell him what's on their minds. Through countless such conversations over the course of the year, he gets a ground-level view of American elections. Gonyea is NPR's National Political Correspondent, a position he has held since 2010. His reports can be heard on all NPR News programs and at NPR.org. To hear his sound-rich stories is akin to riding in the passenger seat of his rental car, traveling through Iowa or South Carolina or Michigan or wherever, right along with him.
