Kazakhstan calls on the world nuclear powers to develop a plan to eliminate nuclear weapons. Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic Mukhtar Tleuberdi wrote about this in an article for the Kazakh and foreign media on the eve of the first meeting of the states parties to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW).
He emphasized that the current situation in Ukraine, talk of the return of nuclear weapons and mutual threats to use nuclear weapons make us think more than ever about the collective vulnerability of humanity and the urgent need to ban and eliminate these deadly weapons.
"As United Nations Secretary General António Guterres notes, today, when about 13,400 nuclear warheads are dispersed around the world, the possibility of using nuclear weapons has become more real than in the darkest days of the Cold War", RIA Novosti quotes the head of the Kazakh Foreign Ministry.
Let us remind you that the meeting of the states parties to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) will be held in Vienna on June 21-23, 2022.
