The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China on Tuesday (August 2) urged the United States and Britain and Australia to revoke the decision to carry out nuclear submarine cooperation.
Hua Chunying, a spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was asked by a reporter at a routine press conference on Tuesday that Swaninin, the 10th Ductual Congress of Nuclear Weapon Treaty (NPT), said at the meeting.The United States and Britain, Australia, and Australia have caused serious concern for many countries such as China and Russia. Should the three -king nuclear submarine cooperation violated the NPT spirit? Should be judged by the contract?
Hua Chunying responded that the three countries of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia decided to carry out the risk of nuclear -powered submarine cooperation to constitute a serious risk of nuclear diffusion, exacerbated military reserve competitions, and destroy regional peace and stability. China has repeatedly clarified its opposition.As the chairman of the NPT Ten Ten Council said, many other countries have also expressed similar concern.
Hua Chunying continued, but it is regrettable that the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia ignore the concerns of the international community and promote nuclear submarine cooperation.However, the cooperation of nuclear submarines in the Three Kingdoms involves the transfer of weapons -level nuclear materials to nuclear weapons countries. "Obviously violates the purpose and purpose of NPT, and seriously impacts the international nuclear non -diffusion system with NPT as the cornerstone."
Hua Chunying said that China has called on the NPT Contracting State to take the opportunity to actively participate in related discussions in the cooperation between the United States and the United States and the United States and the United States, and jointly maintain the integrity and effectiveness of NPT.At the same time, the United States and Britain, the United States, and Australia were urged to effectively fulfill the obligations of nuclear non -proliferation, revoke the decision to carry out nuclear submarine cooperation, and make their due efforts and contributions to maintain peace and stability in the Asia -Pacific region.
