Today, more than 12,000 nuclear weapons remain an existential threat to humanity.
Ending their production, proliferation and testing has been a core UN objective since 1945.

The longer the Strait of Hormuz is choked, the higher the cost to humanity.
My message is clear:
Open the Strait.
Let all ships pass.
Let the global economy breathe again.
Earth is our one and only home.
Wherever we live, protecting the planet is a shared responsibility.
From reducing food waste to saving energy and buying local, we can all #ActNow and make every day #EarthDay.

After weeks of destruction & distress, it is clear that there is no military solution to the current conflict in the Middle East.
I call for resumption of talks for an agreement to be reached.
The ceasfire must absolutely be preserved. All violations must cease.
All parties to the conflict must respect the freedom of navigation, including in the Strait of Hormuz, in line with international law.

There is no military objective that justifies the wholesale destruction of a society's infrastructure or the deliberate infliction of suffering on civilian populations.
Conflicts end when leaders choose dialogue over destruction, @antonioguterres says.

Kalpakkam Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor attaining criticality is a historic milestone for our civil nuclear program.
It is also a testament to our growing domestic capabilities paving the way for nation’s energy security.
Congratulate our scientific community, engineers and many contributors on this momentous occasion.
Today, India takes a defining step in its civil nuclear journey, advancing the second stage of its nuclear programme.
The indigenously designed and built Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam has attained criticality.
This advanced reactor, capable of producing more fuel than it consumes, reflects the depth of our scientific capability and the strength of our engineering enterprise. It is a decisive step towards harnessing our vast thorium reserves in the third stage of the programme.
A proud moment for India. Congratulations to our scientists and engineers.
We may speak thousands of languages, but we all call this planet home.
No matter where we come from, protecting our Earth is a shared responsibility.
We need more ambitious #ClimateAction — for our planet and the generations to come.
