China accuses America, Britain and Australia of nuclear submarine cooperation.
Mr. Li Song, the Chinese permanent representative of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said this while delivering a speech yesterday (8).
The Executive Council of the International Atomic Energy Agency will be held in Vienna in June. According to China’s proposals, the agency has investigated and discussed the issue of nuclear submarine cooperation between America, Britain and Australia 8 times at the intergovernmental level.
Mr. Li Song points out that the core of this cooperation is nuclear submarine cooperation with America and Britain, which are countries with nuclear weapons, and Australia, which is a military country without nuclear weapons.
The three countries are working to promote nuclear submarine cooperation as a common security issue between non-nuclear-weapon states and the International Atomic Energy Agency Secretariat.
Indeed, the Chinese representative also points out that they are urging the Secretariat to approve this cooperation.
Also, the nuclear submarine cooperation between America, Britain and Australia is related to many complex crises in the fields of politics, security, law and technology. Because of this, Mr. Li Song emphasized that the promotion of negotiation process between governments with openness, acceptance of differences, transparency and sustainability has become a prominent task nowadays.
