China will actively push forward the nuclear disarmament process, a Chinese envoy said here on Monday.
The complete prohibition and thorough destruction of nuclear weapons and establishing a world free of nuclear weapons were the common aspiration of all the peace-loving people from all countries of the world, said Cheng Jingye, China's Permanent Representative to the United Nations and other International Organizations in Vienna.
Speaking at the First Session of the Preparatory Committee for the 2015 Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, Cheng said China was firmly committed to a nuclear strategy of self-defense, and therefore would keep its nuclear capabilities at the minimum level required for national security.
