MOSCOW, May 28. /TASS/. In the present-day conditions, nuclear weapons in the Asia-Pacific region remain a possibility, Russian Security Council Secretary Sergey Shoigu said at the First International Security Forum held under the council's auspices.

He said that a number of arms control treaties have already been terminated, and the overall trend of militarization can be observed in the region.
