Participation as an observer in the failed "Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons" conference

At a press conference on February 18, Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya announced that Japan would not participate as an observer in the third Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, which will be held in New York from March 3. "It will be difficult to advance nuclear disarmament without the participation of nuclear-weapon states," he said.
