Our calendar for 2013 includes a number of essential occasions: a conference on the humanitarian consequences of nuclear weapons in Oslo, the second meeting of the Preparatory Committee of the 2015 NPT Review Conference in Geneva, the launching of the United Nations High-Level Meeting on Nuclear Disarmament in New York, the launching of the Open-Ended Working Group on taking forward multilateral nuclear negotiations. I do hope, despite some concerns, these events will be instrumental in enhancing our constructive dialogue and ensure our safer future. It is our understanding that their success to a great extent depends on the goodwill and participation of all key players.
