UNITED NATIONS, June 20 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese envoy to the UN on Monday called for an integrated approach to enhance the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD).
"Prevention of weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery is of critical importance to regional and global security," said Wu Haitao, China's deputy permanent representative to the UN at a Security Council meeting.
The 15-member UN body held open consultations on the Comprehensive Review of the 1540 Committee on Nonproliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction. Wu warned that non-proliferation remains of serious international concerns.
"Historical grievance, territorial disputes, ethnic clashes, security concerns as well as terrorism, have compounded the complexity and difficulty for the search of a solution," he said.
The envoy stressed that all parties should adopt "an integrated approach in addressing both the symptoms and root causes of the question."
