PR China would like to extend out support to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, in a way that promotes international stability. We reaffirm the need to peacefully resolve the any problems in context to the threat or disruption of this maintenance of stability, particularly within the Islamic Republic of Iran. We would like to remind the Security Council that the eradication of nuclear weapons is possible in a peaceful way, without the need for sanctions or embargoes.
Specifically, PR China would like to reaffirm article VI of the NPT and hope that Iran can achieve these measures. PR China would like to encourage the work of the International Atomic Energy Agency on multilateral approaches with Iran, including assurances of nuclear fuel supply and related measures while minimizing the risk of proliferation in order to begin disarmament.
PR China understands Iran’s growing need to become competitive in the growing market of nuclear power as an alternative energy source. We would like to support their national sovereignty, and yet advocate for safe power-sharing agreements that would reduce the need for continued nuclear weapons and energy growth. We encourage Iran to follow all protocol established by the NPT and IAEA in hope that safeguard function in Iran can be strengthen. PR China affirms the need for the complete prohibition and destruction of nuclear weapons and until that has been achieved, we urge Iran to undertake a policy of self defense and no-first use of nuclear weapons.
