Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan is working towards ratifying the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT), said a foreign affairs official.<\/p>\n

The treaty is a multilateral commitment that bans all nuclear explosions, whether for military or peaceful purposes.<\/p>\n

Adut Jwokgwen, the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation said the country was keen to ratify the treaty as a commitment to international peace and security.<\/p>\n

Jwokgwen made the statement on the national public broadcaster, SSBC on Wednesday following a visit of Robert Floyd, the head of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban-Treaty Organization [CTBTO] in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cDr. Floyd\u2019s visit to Juba marks the first visit to of the CTBTO to the country. The two [foreign affairs minister and CTBTO head] discussed South Sudan\u2019s national, regional, and global commitment to peace and security,\u201d Jokgwen said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey also discussed ongoing peace agreement and South Sudan works towards ratifying the nuclear test ban treaty,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Floyd who was on his first visit to the country commended the government\u2019s commitment to completing works to ratify the treaty.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s such an honour for South Sudan takes its role in international peace and security so seriously and I was delighted to hear from the foreign minister today; his keenness to see South Sudan ratifying the Comprehensive Nuclear- test-ban treaty.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is such a pleasure to see South Sudan standing with 51 other African countries in support of this important treaty for all humanity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Ratified by 177 countries including 51 African nations, the CTBT aims to get all countries to sign the treaty to end to nuclear testing.<\/p>\n

However, a number of powerful countries including the United States, Saudi Arabia, and India have yet to ratify the treaty.<\/p>\n
