UN chief renews call for nuclear disarmament
The possibility of nuclear catastrophe
continues to overshadow the world as countries prioritize competition over
cooperation, said United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in an
address marking International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear
Weapons on Saturday. "The use of nuclear weapons would affect all states,
meaning that all states have a responsibility to ensure that such deadly
armaments are never used again and are eliminated completely from national
arsenals," Guterres said.Full Story: Associated Press of Pakistan (9/27)
