Nuclear Disarmament in the Spotlight of the UN High-Level Agenda

Nuclear Disarmament in the Spotlight of the UN High-Level Agenda

This week, the high-level agenda at the United Nations concluded with an event dedicated to nuclear disarmament. The topic can be seen as a focal point in the current international environment, and particularly for Kazakhstan, which is known as a vocal advocate of the disarmament agenda. This year marks 35 years since the closure of the Semipalatinsk Nuclear Test Site. Active for 49 years, it had unimaginable consequences for people and the entire ecosystem they lived in. Since then, Kazakhstan has been actively pursuing the anti-nuclear agenda, playing an important role in nuclear disarmament diplomacy, including on the UN platform.
