Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama received a courtesy call at the Prime Minister's Office from Mr. Gareth Evans and Ms. Yoriko Kawaguchi, Co-Chairs of the International Commission on Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament (ICNND).
The main objective of the ICNND -- which addresses the issues of nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament, as well as peaceful uses of nuclear energy -- is to issue, prior to the NPT Review Conference in May of 2010, a report with recommendations.
The ICNND is to meet four times before issuing its report. The fourth meeting will be held in Hiroshima from October 18 to 20.
