Hope for change as Indonesia ratifies anti-nuke treaty

JAKARTA: Foreign Minister Retno LP Marsudi (pic) has expressed hope that the global nuclear weapons non-proliferation agenda may gain more traction going forward, after Indonesia became the latest country to ratify the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW).

The TPNW is the first legally binding international agreement to comprehensively prohibit nuclear weapons with the ultimate goal being their total elimination.
