2^min

China will continue to contribute its wisdom and proposals to global nuclear governance, and is ready to carry out cooperation with all peace-loving countries, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu said on Monday.

Ma made the remarks in an interview after the leaders of the five Nuclear-Weapon States, namely China, France, Russia, Britain and the United States on Monday issued a joint statement on preventing nuclear war and avoiding arms races.

Ma told the media the significance of the joint statement, China's efforts and China's proposition on strengthening global governance in the nuclear field.

By issuing the joint statement in the beginning of the New Year, the five Nuclear-Weapon States stressed that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought and reiterated that none of the nuclear weapons are targeted at each other or at any other state.

"This is the first time that the leaders of the five countries have issued such a joint statement, which has demonstrated the political will of the five states to prevent nuclear wars, and given their common voice of maintaining global strategic stability and reducing the risk of nuclear conflicts," said Ma.

Noting that the world is undergoing changes unseen in a century and the impact of COVID-19, Ma said the international strategic security faces many major challenges.
