Показать описание
United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that this is a “critical” and “challenging” moment for the Treaty on the Non-proliferation of nuclear weapons (NPT) as “different parts of this regime are under challenge.”
Briefing journalists today (01 Aug) in New York on the occasion of the Tenth Review Conference of the Parties to the NPT, Blinken said that the treaty has “made a powerful difference to the world, in making the world a safer place, making it less dangerous. Making sure that countries with nuclear weapons including the United States, pursue disarmament, making sure that countries that don't have nuclear weapons do not acquire them by upholding and strengthening Non-Proliferation, and making sure that countries can engage in the peaceful use of nuclear energy.”
He added that challenges have been posed by Iran, North Korea, and “now, in different ways” by Russia.
“So, the next 30 days, the work that's being done here, by countries around the world to reaffirm an obligation to strengthen and to strengthen each one of its bullets, disarmament, Non-Proliferation, peaceful use, is more vital than it’s ever been,” Blinken said.
He also said, “The United States will be here in force.”
