‘Nukes-free world, a better world’: Minister of Foreign Affairs Pradeep Kumar Gyawali
Kathmandu. Nepal has reiterated its stance on peace in the ‘High-level Meeting to Commemorate the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons’ organized at New York. Minister for Foreign Affairs Pradeep Kumar Gyawali underscored that resources spent on nuclear weapons should be channeled towards achieving sustainable development goals aimed at world peace and prosperity of humanity.
In his pre-recorded video address the foreign minister said that the devastation brought by present corona pandemic and nuclear disaster may look similar; but they are vastly different in a sense that COVID-19 leaves some hope-there may be a cure in the form of vaccines, atomic accidents on the other hand cause an irreparable loss of human life and property in a flash. Mankind loses faith upon humanity after a nuclear cataclysm.
Gyawali emphasized on complete disarmament of weapons of mass destruction and noted that nuclear technology should be applied for peaceful purposes of promoting health care, increasing agricultural productivity, and saving lives.
Permanent Mission of Nepal to UN in New York has informed that the meeting saw a total of 110 speakers including 15 heads of state/government and 64 ministers.
