NEW YORK (Kyodo) A three-part exhibit titled "Against Nuclear Arms" opened Monday at the United Nations as testament to the victims of the atomic bombings in Japan and 40 years of nuclear tests carried out in Kazakhstan.
The exhibit is being presented by the Japan and Kazakhstan missions as part of ongoing efforts for nuclear disarmament and nonproliferation. It will be on display until Sept. 30.
"Both our countries share the experience of the horror of nuclear weapons," Japanese Ambassador to the U.N. Yukio Takasu said. " 'Against Nuclear Arms' tells two tragic stories about the consequences of the very existence of nuclear weapons. The memory of these tragedies should never be forgotten."
