Japan's New Prime Minister addressed his speech at the general assembly of the united nations. He introduced his 5 challenges to the global world. The first 1 is on the global economic crisis, the second one is on the climate change issue, the third one is on the nuclear disarmament., the fourth issue is the poverty and diseases.and the fifth one is to build an East Asian
Community.
I'd like to refer 2 of them.
*Japan's New PM Pledges 25% Emissions Cut
Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama pledged on Tuesday that Japan will cut its greenhouse gas emission by 25 percent by 2020 from 1990 levels, in his first U.N. speech since taking office.
* about nuclear disarmament and peace
Japan has the potential to become a promoter of nuclear disarmament and serve as a "bridge" between States possessing nuclear weapons and those without them. Japan can speak with the greatest persuasiveness in urging nuclear-weapon-holding States towards nuclear disarmament and non-nuclear nations to avoid the temptation to acquire nuclear weapons. This is because Japan is the only country which has ever suffered the devastation of atomic bombings, and as such has never ceased to appeal for "no more Hiroshimas" and "no more Nagasakis".
Japan has also continued to maintain the "Three Non-Nuclear Principles", despite its potential capability to acquire nuclear weapons.
