UNITED NATIONS, Aug. 7 (Xinhua) — China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Geng Shuang on Wednesday stressed the need to protect the right to peaceful uses of nuclear energy while achieving the goal of non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD).

All countries have a legitimate right to benefit from scientific and technological progress, a Chinese diplomat said at a UN Security Council meeting on non-proliferation of WMD.

According to him, in striving to achieve non-proliferation goals, the international community must commit to lifting restrictions on the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes by developing countries and to developing international cooperation in this area.

“Non-proliferation is a global security governance issue that requires global solutions based on multilateralism and broad international participation,” Geng Shuang said.

"The international community should adhere to a common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable concept of security, create favorable conditions for regional and international security, take into account the legitimate security interests of all countries, eliminate the main factors of proliferation and ensure common security," said China's deputy permanent representative to the UN.

China firmly opposes the proliferation of WMD and attaches great importance to the global nuclear non-proliferation regime and the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1540 on the non-proliferation of WMD, Geng Shuang emphasized. According to him, China strictly fulfills its international obligations and actively develops international cooperation in this area.

China will continue to work with all parties to effectively implement UNSCR 1540, strengthen the international non-proliferation system, enhance global non-proliferation governance, and make important contributions to maintaining international peace and security, the spokesperson added. -0-
