UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has urged the United States and Russia to promote efforts for nuclear disarmament.
In his speech in New York on the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons, Guterres said the states possessing nuclear weapons have a special responsibility to lead by taking concrete steps, including those agreed at various review conferences of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
Condemning North Korea, the UN Chair said, its provocative nuclear and missile tests are heightening tensions and highlighting the dangers of proliferation.
