Astana, August 29, 2025 – The Europe Today: President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev addressed the people of Kazakhstan via his X account on the occasion of the International Day against Nuclear Tests.

“Today is the International Day against Nuclear Tests. This commemorative date was established by the United Nations General Assembly at the initiative of Kazakhstan. Our people endured the tragic consequences of nuclear weapon explosions for many years. This tragedy should never happen again. For the sake of future generations, we must strengthen peace, promote international cooperation, and take efforts towards a complete ban of nuclear tests. Peace and security are the highest values that unite all humankind,” the President wrote.

The message underscores Kazakhstan’s historical experience with nuclear testing and its ongoing commitment to global disarmament, international cooperation, and the promotion of peace and security worldwide.
