It is my strong hope that an environment will be created in which both of our countries can cooperate for the realization of a world without nuclear weapons.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For the sake of future generations, we must continue to work together to realise a world without nuclear weapons.
Today I can declare my hope and declare it from the bottom of my heart that we will eventually see the time when that number of nuclear weapons is down to zero and the world is a much better place.
It is the earnest hope of our people that the world may see the day when all nuclear weapons are abolished.
We have every interest in seeing that the military use of nuclear power will be contained.
I hope that none of the countries in the Middle East are planning anything but the peaceful utilization of nuclear energy.
I think we ultimately ought to look to put all uranium enrichment and fuel reprocessing, if any is done, under multinational control. Those are the two technologies by which nuclear energy can be translated into nuclear weapons programmes.
Hopefully, nations will refuse to accept a situation in which nuclear accidents actually do occur, and, if at all possible, they will do something to correct a system which makes them likely.
As long as some of us choose to rely on nuclear weapons, we continue to risk that these same weapons will become increasingly attractive to others.
India can live without nuclear weapons. That's our dream, and it should be the dream of the U.S. also.
I hope nuclear becomes a part of the conversation, at the right time when we recognize the importance of that resource. I hope we can work that out as a country and figure out how we are going to put nuclear in the mix.
