Welcome adoption of @UN Sec Council resolution on #COVID19. Focus must now turn to implementation, including the cessation of hostilities and the humanitarian pause. All parties to conflicts should seize this unique opportunity. Sweden will actively contribute.

Worrying findings in @SIPRIorg ‘20 yearbook. The nuclear threat is higher than in decades due to growing tensions, abandoning of treaties & dvpment of new capabilities. 🇸🇪 works hard through the Stockholm Initiative to create concrete steps towards a world free from nucl weapons.
