President of Seychelles signs treaty banning nuclear weapons, meets with leaders at UN

The President of Seychelles, Danny Faure, signed the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons on Wednesday at the 73rd session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, said State House. 

At the signing ceremony, Faure said that he “remained committed to global nuclear disarmament and that weapons with the capability to annihilate humanity do not belong in the world.”

The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons is the first legally binding international agreement to prohibit nuclear weapons, with the goal of leading towards their total elimination.
