“It is now twenty years since Chernobyl, and more than sixty years since Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Divided we stand against each other in conflict,but together we can build peace.Together, let us reflect on our mistakes.Together, let us make sure that this never happens again.Together let us unite to build a lasting peace.”
