Speech of The Day (11): Reply To A Toast - China

Reply To A Toast - China


"...Ethiopia has always maintained that security can ultimately be attained with the complete destruction of all nuclear weapons and the prohibition of their further manufacture in a system of general and complete disarmament. Toward this end, Ethiopia has proposed in various international forums the signing of a convention prohibiting the use of nuclear weapons.

They absorb resources wich can be used to promote the welfare of peoples.
