CHINESE President Hu Jintao said in Seoul yesterday that China has taken active steps to enhance nuclear security and achieved new and substantive progress since the first nuclear security summit in Washington two years ago.
Speaking at the Seoul Nuclear Security Summit, the Chinese leader elaborated on China's position, efforts made and important measures taken in the field of nuclear security.
China has attached great importance to building nuclear security capacity, earnestly honored its international nuclear security obligations, engaged in extensive international nuclear security cooperation, and worked hard to ensure nuclear security during major public events, said President Hu.
He said that China has actively provided assistance in nuclear security and safety to other countries.
In his speech, the president put forward the following proposals on enhancing nuclear security under the new circumstances:
-- to follow a scientific and sensible approach to nuclear security and boost confidence in the development of nuclear energy.
-- to strengthen nuclear security capacity building and live up to national responsibility for ensuring nuclear security.
-- to deepen international exchanges and cooperation and improve nuclear security around the world.
-- to take a comprehensive approach and address both the symptoms and root causes of nuclear proliferation and nuclear terrorism.
At the Seoul summit, leaders from over 50 nations and international organizations were discussing cooperative measures to combat the threat of nuclear terrorism, protect nuclear materials and related facilities, and prevent illicit trafficking of nuclear materials.
In addition, the leaders would also exchange views on strengthening nuclear safety, which became the focus of renewed attention following the Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan last year.
