UN General Assembly
2014

As the only country ever to have suffered the devastation of atomic bombings during wartime, Japan is prepared to lead discussions in the Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons to be convened next year — the seventieth anniversary of the atomic bombings. With regard to North Korea, Japan will work in coordination with relevant countries towards the comprehensive resolution of outstanding issues, including abduction and nuclear and missile issues. Japan has been among the biggest beneficiaries of the United Nations. Going forward, we will work harder than ever to bring about realization of the principles set forth by the United Nations. Japan is a nation that implements its pledges without fail. With that, I will end my discussion.
