Definition: In this task, a passage will be given and the goal is to identify an event from the passage. An event is defined as a single word representing something that happened, is happening, or may happen. An event can be factual or hypothetical, positive or negative, certain or uncertain. While most events are based on verbs, an event can also be based on a noun (ex. storm, snow, rainfall) or a copula verb (is, was, been, etc.). The event must not be a pronoun or an adjective. For noun events with multiple words, use the last word in the phrase as event.
Input: Passage: In an aside from his prepared text, Singh told lawmakers that India's commitment to stopping the spread of nuclear weapons was "unshakable" even though it refuses to sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty. The support of Japan, the only nation to be attacked by atomic weapons, could open the door for international nuclear cooperation with India and counter Singh's critics, who say he has conceded too much to Washington.
