United Nations Under-Secretary-General of Disarmament Affairs Izumi Nakamitsu urged on Saturday the United States and Russia to negotiate the continuation of the New START (START 3) nuclear arms reduction agreement, APA reports citing Tele Trader.
The treaty is set to expire in 2026, with officials warning the current level of bilateral communication on the topic is insufficient.
"At a minimum, they need to agree on a new agreement before START 3 expires, otherwise the world will have no deterrents left. We continue to urge both sides to resume engagement as soon as possible so that the world does not end up without restrictions on nuclear weapons," Nakamitsu cautioned.
