The training course enhanced the understanding of participants with regard to resolution 1540 (2004) and its background, thereby assisting countries in their efforts to make progress on the implementation of the resolution, both at home and among States.

  3. “The comprehensive review process should hinge on that core mandate of the resolution, and should avoid expanding the interpretation of the scope of the resolution, or introducing other sensitive and complicated issues that do not already fall within its scope.

China has noted the Committee's work plan for the comprehensive review. Next year, consultations will be conducted with the membership.

  8. “Mr. Sun Lei (China) (spoke in Chinese): I wish to thank Ambassador Oh Joon for his briefing. China appreciates the great deal of work done by Ambassador Oh Joon and his team over the past two years at the helm of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004). Currently, the international fight against proliferation faces a new and complex situation amid the rising trend of non-State entities engaing in proliferation activities. Prevention efforts are entailing higher costs and greater difficulties. In the face of the new challenges, the international community should strengthen the regulation and control of proliferation at its source, tackle both the symptoms and the root causes, work to eliminate the motivation behind proliferation and address security and development issues in a balanced manner.”
