Ban said that at the upcoming review conference, which runs from May 03-28, 2010, he plans to call on all countries, especially the nuclear-weapons States, to pursue a treaty on disarmament under international control, as stipulated by the NPT. "These negotiations are long overdue," he underscored. "We should not have unrealistic expectations for the conference. But neither can we afford to lower our sights." The Secretary-General added, "what I see on the horizon is a world free of nuclear weapons." --SPA 11:12 LOCAL TIME 08:12 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/776221
