"This year we mark the 70th anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombing and I propose to make nuclear-weapon-free world the main goal of the mankind in the 21st century. I propose to adopt a universal declaration of the United Nations on nuclear-weapon-free world. We are the first country in the world to close its nuclear testing site and abandon the fourth in the world nuclear arsenal.
