Statement by Ambassador Kyaw Moe Tun at nuclear weapons treaty meeting

Heightened geopolitical tensions, persistent conflicts and backsliding of international rules and norms are eroding the global security architecture. The Scientific Advisory Group reported an estimated increase in global stockpile of nuclear warheads and ongoing nuclear arsenal modernization efforts at the beginning of 2025. Nuclear rhetorics and threats continue to prevail while evolving technologies in the nuclear domain further exacerbate its danger.

As humanity moves inches closer to nuclear catastrophe, it is now more urgent than ever to redouble our efforts in achieving our collective goal of the world without nuclear weapons.
