Dharamsala, HP, India - In his letter to Ms. Beatrice Fihn, the Executive Director of ICAN, His Holiness congratulated the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), which has been awarded this year's Nobel Peace Prize for its sustained efforts to eliminate nuclear weapons throughout the world.
His Holiness mentioned "In these times of great uncertainty and upheaval in many corners of the world, the work of ICAN is of the utmost urgency. It is therefore most fitting that the Nobel Peace Committee has recognised the endeavours of ICAN."
He further added, "I pray that there will be concerted and vigorous efforts to achieve a world without nuclear weapons."
