The clarion call of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in 1974 to free the world from the scourge of nuclear war, forms the cornerstone of Bangladesh\u2019s commitment and adherence to nuclear disarmament, said Dr Momen.<\/p>\n

The international community must be united against the perpetual holding of nuclear weapons by a handful of states in total disregard of the safety and security of humanity, Dr Momen continued.<\/p>\n

He demanded effective, unconditional and non-discriminatory assurances from nuclear weapons states against the threat or use of nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n

The Foreign Minister expressed Bangladesh\u2019s readiness to work with the international community towards realizing the goal of a peaceful and nuclear-weapons-free world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
