President Hu urges Nuke-free world

During the special nuclear session, Chinese President Hu Jintao made his multi-point proposal. The meeting took place in conjunction with the annual debate of the UN General Assembly.

During the special nuclear session, Chinese President Hu Jintao made a five-point proposal for building a safer world for all through nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament.

Hu Jintao calls for countries to advance nuclear disarmament, abandon the nuclear deterrence policy based on first use of nuclear weapons, consolidate the international nuclear non-proliferation alliance, respect the right of all countries to peaceful use of nuclear energy, and take strong measures to enhance nuclear security.

The Chinese president also calls for all nuclear-weapon states to fulfill obligations under the Treaty of the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, or NPT.

The NPT review conference in May will be an attempt to reinforce the treaty's three pillars: non-proliferation, nuclear disarmament and the peaceful use of nuclear energy.
