United Nations, 3 April 2009 - Daily Briefing by the Office of the Spokesperson for the Secretary General. The Secretary-General welcomes the Joint Statement by President Medvedev and President Obama. The Secretary-General believes that their leadership is vital to the process leading to the achievement of a nuclear-weapon-free world. Their agreed commitment to this goal, to fulfilling their disarmament obligations under Article VI of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), as well as agreeing to rapidly pursue new and verifiable reductions in their strategic offensive arsenals through the replacement of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) with a new, legally-binding treaty, are significant undertakings.
