Prime Minister Fumio Kishida stressed the importance of unity in the international community to realize a world without nuclear weapons in his speech at the Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) in New York on Monday.
With little progress being made toward nuclear disarmament, the prime minister hopes to advance discussions involving the nuclear powers. The prime minister's ability to communicate this message will likely be tested in the future.
