Over 30 political, diplomatic, and military leaders from 14 Asia Pacific states signed on to the Asia Pacific Leadership Network for Non-Proliferation and Disarmament’s inaugural statement in support of a nuclear weapons-free world. The statement acknowledges the crucial role of policymakers in the Asia Pacific region in achieving the vision of a world without nuclear weapons. The statement’s signatories, including five former prime ministers and 10 former foreign and defense ministers, warn against stalled momentum and call for policymakers to “get serious” about nuclear risks.
