Seoul Nuclear Summit Closes, International Community Joins Hands to Enhance Nuclear Security
Release time:
2012-03-28
On March 26-27, the second nuclear security summit was held in Seoul, South Korea. On the afternoon of the 27th, the current nuclear summit closed after the adoption of the Seoul Communique. Leaders from 53 countries and four national organizations attended the meeting to discuss issues such as ensuring the safety of nuclear materials and nuclear power and preventing nuclear and radiological terrorism. At the meeting, President Hu Jintao put forward four propositions on improving international nuclear security, which were highly concerned by the international community.
The meeting is an intermediate point in the global nuclear security process. The 2010 Washington Nuclear Security Summit took stock of the progress of international nuclear security cooperation in the past two years, and the 2014 Netherlands Summit was launched to point out the direction for future nuclear security cooperation.
Similar to the Washington summit, the core issue of this summit is still the security of nuclear materials. One is because terrorists acquire nuclear materials. Second, ensuring the safety of nuclear materials is the most effective means to prevent nuclear terrorism. Third, the international nuclear material security system is the weakest link in the current international nuclear cooperation system and needs to be improved.
But this summit also has two new features. First, pay more attention to the relationship between the safe operation of nuclear power and the prevention of nuclear terrorism. The second is to pay more attention to the security of radioactive materials.
China attaches great importance to nuclear terrorism and nuclear security. Terrorist forces that threaten China's national security have close personnel and organizational ties with international terrorist forces, and are more active in some areas where nuclear materials are vulnerable to loss. The possibility that they could acquire nuclear material and use it to make improvised nuclear devices or dirty bombs to launch attacks cannot be ruled out. Moreover, as China's step of going global is getting bigger and bigger, a nuclear terrorist attack anywhere in the world may endanger the safety of Chinese citizens and overseas assets.
Over the years, China has made unremitting efforts in nuclear safety management and gradually developed a set of practical and effective practices.
First, take care of your own nuclear materials. One is the strict regulation of nuclear materials. The second is to manage the export of nuclear materials. The third is to strengthen emergency preparedness against nuclear terrorism.
Second, strengthen international cooperation on nuclear security. China supports the international community in improving the international nuclear security mechanism. It has ratified the revised "Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material" and "International Convention for the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism" and other international instruments, and has joined the "Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism" and other international mechanisms. In August 2010, the China Atomic Energy Agency and the International Atomic Energy Agency signed a new "nuclear security cooperation agreement" to further strengthen the cooperation between the two sides in nuclear security regulations and standards.
In recent years, China has also strengthened cooperation at the bilateral level. In January 2011, China and the United States reached an agreement on cooperation in the establishment of a nuclear safety demonstration center and a customs radiation detection training center. China and the United States have also cooperated on the "mega port plan" and the "container security initiative. In December 2011, the Shanghai Yangshan Port Pilot Project of the China-US Cooperation "Mega Port Program" was launched. The two sides jointly install radiation detection equipment to prevent illegal trafficking of nuclear and other radioactive materials and ensure the security of the international trade supply chain. In addition, China also has extensive nuclear security exchanges and cooperation with Australia, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Russia, Britain and other countries.
