Pakistan has said nuclear disarmament is feasible and should be pursued in a universal manner, echoing the mayor of Hiroshima's call for peace and the abolition of nuclear weapons ahead of the 68th anniversary Tuesday of the atomic bombing of the city.

"We sympathize with the citizens of Hiroshima — one of the only two cities in the world to have faced the horrific catastrophe of nuclear bombing," Aizaz Ahmad Chaudry, spokesman for the Pakistani Foreign Ministry, said in a recent interview with Kyodo News.

"We acclaim the resolve and steadfastness of its people who have rebuilt the city from bottom up. We express our sincere best wishes for the people of Hiroshima," he said.

"We all have to address the root cause of conflict and insecurities world over, and settlement of all outstanding disputes peacefully," he added.

"Global nuclear disarmament is feasible if we ensure equal and undiminished security for all states in a world without nuclear weapons. Nuclear disarmament has to be pursued in a nondiscriminatory, universal and verifiable manner," Chaudry said.
