HIROSHIMA, Oct 20 (Bernama) -- An international nuclear nonproliferation panel currently meeting in Hiroshima gave up Monday on making recommendations to reduce the number of nuclear warheads in the world from more than 20,000 at present to less than 1,000 by 2025, Japan's Kyodo news reported quoting sources close to the panel as saying.
The sources did not elaborate on the concrete figure to be stated but said the targeted figure appeared to have been raised from the previous one because of opposition from some nuclear armed states.
The International Commission on Nuclear Nonproliferation and Disarmament is expected to make final adjustments to reduction target figures for each nuclear power in Tuesday's session.
