The failure is “extremely regrettable,” Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara said at a press conference. He also said that the discussions at the conference reaffirmed the importance of the NPT as the cornerstone of the nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation regime. “We will persistently and steadily advance realistic and practical efforts” toward a world free of nuclear weapons, Kihara said.
