During the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) meetings under Japan's presidency, Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa chaired a ministerial briefing focused on nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation. She emphasized the importance of international efforts to implement the Hiroshima Action Plan, establishing 'FMCT Friends' to unite against nuclear weapons, and addressing emerging technologies and women's participation in security (WPS). Kamikawa condemned Putin's comment that Russia is technically ready for nuclear war and DPRK's ballistic missile transfers as extremely concerning. Additionally, the UNSC condemned Houthi attacks against commercial vessels in the Red Sea. Kamikawa pledged to initiate a new dialogue framework for negotiating a treaty to ban nuclear material production for weapons. She also met with Dr. Robert Floyd of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO) and announced the creation of 'FMCT Friends' at a U.N. meeting in New York.
