Egypt Walks Out of Nuclear Talks – What We’re Reading Now

IRAN

Audrey Yoo, Time – April 30, 2013

NUCLEAR WEAPONS

Egypt walks out of nuclear talks
AP, News24 – April 30, 2013

Egypt walked out of a round of global nuclear talks in protest on Monday, saying other nations are not acting quickly enough to establish the Middle East as a zone free of nuclear weapons. A statement from Egypt’s foreign ministry said the nation ended its participation in two weeks of Geneva talks out of frustration that the zone has yet to be created. The talks run through this week.

Japan Times – April 29, 2013

Two days after the latest nuclear test by the North, U.S. President Barack Obama told Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in a telephone meeting that there would be no change whatsoever in America’s commitment to defend Japan, including nuclear deterrence through its nuclear umbrella over Japan. Obama’s comment was meant not only to reconfirm the U.S.’s commitment to the Japan-U.S. Security Treaty but also to discourage Japan from following the path toward becoming a nuclear power.
