Japanese government voices support for Obama’s ‘nuclear-free world’
No surprises here. Japan has voiced approval of Barack Obama’s call for world without nuclear weapons:
“Japan, as the only nation that was attacked with nuclear bombs, has strongly demanded disarmament by nuclear-armed nations,” he said. “We hope that President Obama’s call will foster the momentum for a nuclear-free world.”
Obama warned the prospect of a nuclear-armed terrorist was the “most immediate and extreme threat to global security”, unveiling a plan to cut stockpiles, curtail testing, choke fissile production and secure loose nuclear material.
“Japan also agrees with President Obama on the points that the system of nuclear non-proliferation should be strengthened by taking substantial and immediate actions against those nations which have violated rules,” said Kawamura, a day after North Korea launched a rocket which flew over Japan.
