Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has called for renewed negotiations among nuclear powers as Kazakhstan marks 35 years since the closure of the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site. He warned that international arms-control safeguards are weakening and urged nuclear-armed states to return to dialogue. The anniversary highlights Kazakhstan's history as the site of Soviet nuclear testing and its subsequent choice to renounce nuclear weapons.
Why now: The 35th anniversary of the Semipalatinsk test site closure has prompted Tokayev's appeal amid growing concerns about weakening global arms control.
