China's Views on Nuclear Security
At the Third Nuclear Security Summit that opened in the Hague on March 24, 2014, Chinese President Xi Jinping called on the international community to follow a sensible, coordinated and balanced approach to nuclear security. While giving details of China's views on nuclear security, he made four points:
First, the international community should place equal emphasis on development and security, and develop nuclear energy on the premise of security.
Second, it should place equal emphasis on rights and obligations, and move forward the international nuclear security process on the basis of respecting the rights and interests of all countries.
Third, it should place equal emphasis on independent and collaborative efforts, and seek universal nuclear security through mutually beneficial cooperation.
Fourth, it should place equal emphasis on treating symptoms and addressing root causes, and advance the cause of nuclear security in all respects with the goal of removing the associated risks at the root.
Xi promised that China will continue its efforts to achieve lasting nuclear security.
His speech made China the first country to publicly unveil its views on nuclear security.
核安全觀
2014年3月24日，在荷蘭海牙舉行的第三屆核安全峰會上，習近平發表重要講話，首次全面闡述了理性、協調、并進的核安全觀。其主要內容可以概括為四句話： 一是發展和安全并重，以確保安全為前提發展核能事業。二是權利和義務并重，以尊重各國權益為基礎推進國際核安全進程。三是自主和協作并重，以互利共贏為途徑尋求普遍核安全。四是治標和治本并重，以消除根源為目標全面推進核安全努力。此外，中國還承諾，為實現持久核安全，愿意繼續作出自己的努力和貢獻。由 此，中國成為第一個正式提出核安全觀的國家。
