赞比亚仍然致力于支持所有善意的条约和议定书。我高兴地通知委员会，赞比亚是9月26日签署《禁止核武器条约》的若干国家之一。我们呼吁尚未签署和批准《条约》的国家签署和批准《条约》，以便《条约》能够在达到要求的最低批准国数量之后生效。禁止核武器的目标已经在望，请允许我援引美国前总统罗纳德·里根说过的一句话：“我们义不容辞，必须尽力而为，以期有朝一日，世界儿童能够在不害怕会发生核战争的状态下成长。”
Zambia remains committed to supporting all well-intentioned treaties and protocols, and I am pleased to inform the Committee that Zambia was among a number of States that signed the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons on 26 September. We appeal to States that have not yet done so to sign and ratify the Treaty so that it can come into force after reaching the required ratification threshold. With the prohibition of nuclear weapons on the horizon, allow me to quote the words of former United States President Ronald Reagan, “Our moral imperative is to work with all our powers for that day when the children of the world grow up without the fear of nuclear war.”
