FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/strong><\/em>
\nJanuary 3, 2022<\/em><\/p>\n

France, the People\u2019s Republic of China, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the United States of America consider the avoidance of war between Nuclear-Weapon States and the reduction of strategic risks as our foremost responsibilities.<\/p>\n

We affirm that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.\u00a0 As nuclear use would have far-reaching consequences, we also affirm that nuclear weapons\u2014for as long as they continue to exist\u2014should serve defensive purposes, deter aggression, and prevent war.\u00a0 We believe strongly that the further spread of such weapons must be prevented.<\/p>\n

We reaffirm the importance of addressing nuclear threats and emphasize the importance of preserving and complying with our bilateral and multilateral non-proliferation, disarmament, and arms control agreements and commitments.\u00a0 We remain committed to our Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) obligations, including our Article VI obligation \u201cto pursue negotiations in good faith on effective measures relating to cessation of the nuclear arms race at an early date and to nuclear disarmament, and on a treaty on general and complete disarmament under strict and effective international control.\u201d<\/p>\n

We each intend to maintain and further strengthen our national measures to prevent unauthorized or unintended use of nuclear weapons.\u00a0 We reiterate the validity of our previous statements on de-targeting, reaffirming that none of our nuclear weapons are targeted at each other or at any other State.<\/p>\n

We underline our desire to work with all states to create a security environment more conducive to progress on disarmament with the ultimate goal of a world without nuclear weapons with undiminished security for all.\u00a0 We intend to continue seeking bilateral and multilateral diplomatic approaches to avoid military confrontations, strengthen stability and predictability, increase mutual understanding and confidence, and prevent an arms race that would benefit none and endanger all.\u00a0 We are resolved to pursue constructive dialogue with mutual respect and acknowledgment of each other\u2019s security interests and concerns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
