TOPIC: Proliferation of Ballistic Missiles
Ballistic missiles are long range rockets used by nations to attack each other. These missiles can be loaded with a payload of anything from a nuclear bomb to a bioweapon. It is natural for some countries to be worried about the safety of their civilians and India hopes to ease those fears through lively debate.
The Republic of India is committed to ensuring a safe global community through cooperation and understanding. India has the world’s largest population and is adamant about maintaining its national security. Its people have weathered long seasons under the thumb of foreign powers. India is against radical and hasty disarmament that could endanger the lives of its over a billion citizens.
India advocates for reasonable well thought through initiatives that can ensure a peaceful world while also ensuring that countries with ballistic missiles can maintain their national security. India is a signatory to the Hague code of conduct and supports an international effort against the proliferation of ballistic missiles. These efforts though should be opt in and cooperative. If they are not member states then have no real incentive to cooperate.
India looks forward to taking a measured and cooperative approach to the non proliferation of ballistic missiles.
