Austria wants Japan to attend 1st meeting of U.N. nuclear ban treaty
Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz has called for the participation of Japan and other non-signatory states in the first meeting of a historic U.N. treaty banning nuclear weapons, which will come into force on Friday. This is a historic milestone, and a step that many critics of nuclear weapons as well as the hibakusha the victims of the atomic bomb explosions in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 have been fighting for, for more than 70 years, Kurz said in a written interview with Kyodo News.
