  1. “International efforts to address the proliferation of WMDs and related materials require renewed political commitment, as well as enhanced partnerships and cooperation, including with the United Nations and the relevant international organizations, such as the IAEA and OPCW. Viet Nam remains strongly committed and will fully cooperate with the international community towards a world free from all weapons of mass destruction.”

  2. “Viet Nam's experience has revealed many challenges. In our view, there is a need for increased international cooperation to raise the awareness and understanding of the threats posed by WMD proliferation and to strengthen the capacity of States, in particular of developing countries, in implementing their respective obligations and commitments. That may include building the necessary national databases, enhancing capacity to tackle transnational and new types of crimes, providing technical assistance for stronger import- export control and supporting the application of security and safety standards in the use of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear materials and technologies. Care must also be taken to avoid placing undue burden on States in those efforts.”

  3. “As a concrete example of its efforts, Viet Nam completed the conversion of fuel at its only research reactor, from highly enriched to low-enriched uranium. That was done in close collaboration with the Russian Federation, the United States and the IAEA. For the past 12 years, resolution 1540 (2004) has played an important role in the international community's efforts to prevent WMDs, their means of delivery and related materials from falling into the hands of non-State actors. Viet Nam welcomes the upcoming review of the resolution. As a member of the Group of Friends of resolution 1540 (1040), we look forward to engaging in the deliberations. As the President suggested, it is essential that we identify and address the challenges that States face in implementing resolution 1540 (2004) and other non-proliferation commitments.”

  4. “Viet Nam has consistently been committed to WMD disarmament and non-proliferation efforts, and strongly advocated for the peaceful use of CBRN- related materials and technologies. Viet Nam is party to, and complies fully with its obligations under, all key WMD disarmament and non-proliferation treaties, including the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, Chemical Weapons Convention and the Biological Weapons Convention, as well as the International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards agreement and its additional protocol. Viet Nam seriously implements the relevant Security Council resolutions and participates in related initiatives, including the Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism and the Proliferation Security Initiative.”

  5. “This debate is also opportune as the demand for chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear technologies, materials and equipment for peaceful purposes continues to grow as countries strive for sustainable development. Viet Nam believes that addressing WMD proliferation must be coupled with substantive progress in WMD disarmament, particularly towards the total elimination of nuclear weapons. We underline the importance of regional nuclear-weapon-free zones, including the Southeast Asian Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone, and the need for nuclear-weapon States to accede to their respective protocols. At the same time, non-proliferation efforts should not hinder the legitimate rights of States to acquire, produce and use chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN)- related materials, equipment and technology for peaceful purposes.”

  6. “I join previous speakers in thanking the Malaysian presidency for convening this important meeting to discuss the challenges that Member States face in addressing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. I thank the Secretary-General for his valuable insights, as well as Mr. Kim Won-Soo, Mr. Emanuel Roux and Mr. George Koblentz for their informative briefings. My delegation associates itself with the statement delivered earlier by the representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran on behalf of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries. Today's debate is being held as the world continues to face the dire threats posed by terrorism related to weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) and their proliferation. Their very existence, especially nuclear weapons, remains a danger for international peace, security and stability.”
