Japan PM Takaichi calls for global nuclear disarmament leadership

Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said the catastrophic consequences of nuclear weapons must never be repeated.

She added that Japan has a mission as the only country to have suffered atomic bombings during war to lead the international community toward a world without nuclear weapons.

The remarks emphasize Japan's long-standing diplomatic focus on nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament, though the statement did not include specific policy measures or market details.
