UNITED NATIONS, Aug. 23 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese envoy to the UN said Tuesday that non-proliferation cannot be used as a pretext to beef up military deployment, step up military presence or scale up military exercises.
Liu Jieyi, China's permanent representative to the UN, made the remarks at a Security Council debate on preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
On regional non-proliferation issues, Liu said all parties should stay consistently engaged in the process towards the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
All parties should keep up the search for solutions through dialogue and consultation and avoid any provocative action that may escalate tensions, he noted.
