HIROSHIMA (Kyodo) An international panel on nuclear nonproliferation and disarmament opened a meeting Sunday in Hiroshima, the world's first city to suffer an atomic bombing, seeking ways to bring about a world without nuclear weapons.
During the three-day conference, the International Commission on Nuclear Nonproliferation and Disarmament is expected to discuss concrete measures for reducing the number of nuclear weapons and restricting their use.
The commission is cochaired by former Foreign Minister Yoriko Kawaguchi and former Australian Foreign Minister Gareth Evans.
