Details: The 2024 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Nihon Hidankyo, a Japanese organization for the victims of nuclear bombing, for its efforts to create a world free of nuclear weapons and for presenting evidence that nuclear weapons can never be used again.
Biden noted that it is necessary to continue moving forward until the day when we can finally and forever rid the world of nuclear weapons.
Therefore, according to him, the United States is ready for negotiations with Russia, China and North Korea “without preconditions” regarding the reduction of the nuclear threat.
“Neither our countries nor the world benefit from hindering progress in reducing nuclear arsenals. Reducing the nuclear threat is important not in spite of the dangers of the modern world, but precisely because of them.
These nuclear risks undermine the norms and agreements we have collectively worked on, and run counter to the vital work of today’s Nobel laureates,” the US president emphasized.
