From high-level diplomacy to student dialogue, @DrRobFloyd wrapped up a visit to Latvia 🇱🇻, a valued #CTBT partner. Highlights included a meeting with Deputy State Secretary Olga Bogdanova, accompanied by Amb. Raimonds Oškalns of @LVMissionVienna, and a tour of the National Data Centre. The Executive Secretary also exchanged with the #nextgen at @RSUinfo & experts at @LIIA_LV, all important advocates for a 🌍 free from nuclear test explosions.

Delighted to meet again with Foreign Minister @Braze_Baiba in Riga. A steadfast supporter of nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament, Latvia is a true @CTBTO champion, proudly leading our Preparatory Commission in this landmark anniversary year. Grateful for this enduring commitment to the #CTBT.

A successful week of consultations with government officials in Windhoek, Namibia during the latest preparatory visit for the Integrated Field Exercise 2026 (IFE26). This sets the tone for the following two weeks, where CTBTO staff, Namibian and international experts will work together in Swakopmund to check communications and data telemetry equipment in field conditions and ensure readiness for the exercise.

Day 2 at #NPTRevCon brought clear expressions of support for the #CTBT. An @theELN side event explored ways to strengthen the CTBT to safeguard the NPT, followed by the opening of a French 🇫🇷 exhibition marking 30 years since the CTBT opened for signature.

30 years on, the #CTBT’s mission matters more than ever. At #NPTRevCon, the #CTBTO brought States Signatories together for a side event, "NPT & CTBT: Galvanizing Action” to keep the global ban on nuclear test explosions moving forward. 📰Read the full story: ctbto.info/4tdwmYU

A pleasure to meet with high-level representatives from many of our States Signatories on the margins of the #NPTRevCon. These exchanges are invaluable for strengthening cooperation and advancing our shared goals. My sincere thanks to Zimbabwe and Tonga for the excellent discussions.

A timely and constructive meeting with @antonioguterres, who reaffirmed the @UN’s continued support for the #CTBT. The Secretary-General underscored that, in the present security environment, the Treaty remains a vital deterrent against nuclear test explosions. (📷 @UN_Photo)

A pleasure to meet Foreign Minister @jnbarrot on the margins of the NPT Review Conference. We deeply appreciate France’s strong partnership and steadfast commitment to the #CTBT.

30 years on, the push for a world without nuclear test explosions is more urgent than ever. At the sidelines of the #NPT Review Conference at @UN Headquarters, #CTBTO brought representatives of States Signatories together to drive action. As @DrRobFloyd put it, “this anniversary is a good time to look at how far we have come but also where we are going.” One Treaty. One goal. Zero tests.

Day 1 of the NPT Review Conference: @DrRobFloyd highlighted the impact of the #CTBT - from over 2,000 nuclear test explosions to fewer than a dozen today, underpinned by a global monitoring system trusted by the international community. “It took decades to bring together the diplomacy, the science, and the willingness to compromise. But we got there.” #NPTRevCon
