Voices from the Earth: Current Issue

SRIC Friends

"This day demonstrates the determination of the United States and Russia — the two nations that hold over 90% of the world's nuclear weapons — to pursue responsible glogal leadership. Together, we are keeping our commitments under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which must be the foundation for global non-proliferation."

— U.S. President Barack Obama

"This is a win-win situation. No one stands to lose from this agreement. I believe that this is a typical feature of our cooperation. Both parties have won. And taking into account this victory of ours, the entire world community has won."

— Russian President Dmitry Medvedev
