One area in which Austria and Honduras are cooperating closely is disarmament, especially in the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW). Foreign Minister Schallenberg thanked his counterpart for the excellent cooperation. The remaining non-member states from Latin America would have to be brought on board the TPNW quickly, and the support of Honduras is also significant.
In addition, Foreign Minister Schallenberg welcomed the fact that Honduras has joined the overwhelming majority of the international community in condemning the Russian invasion at the United Nations General Assembly. To that end, he called for building on this step and helping to bring this war to an end as soon as possible through coherent and decisive action.
