Members of the Indonesia-Kazakhstan Friendship Club (IKFC) expressed their full support of the ATOM Project and agreed to sign an online petition to stop nuclear weapons testing forever on this planet.

The declaration was recently made during the third annual IKFC gathering at Manhattan Hotel in South Jakarta.

The ATOM Project is an international campaign to raise awareness about the dangers of nuclear weapons testing. An online petition at theatomproject.org requests all world leaders to stop all kinds of nuclear weapons testing, which pose a great danger to humankind and our environment.

“Anybody can sign this online petition. Just to go to the website and click,” Kazakhstan Ambassador to Indonesia Askhat Orazbay said at the gathering, which was attended by Kazakhstani diplomats, IKFC chairman Foster Gultom, Indonesian businesspeople and journalists from various media organizations.

Kazakhstan, a country that once held the world’s fourth-biggest nuclear arsenal, is a leading force in the global campaign against the nuclear weapons tests. It voluntarily gave up its nuclear weapons and President Nursultan Nazarbayev closed down the biggest nuclear test site in Semipalatinsk in 1991.

“Nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation are among the main priorities of Kazakhstan’s foreign policy,” Orazbay said.
