<p>The UK initiated the P5 process in 2009 to build mutual trust, understanding and
transparency between the Nuclear Weapon States as these are essential prerequisites
towards our shared goal of a world without nuclear weapons. Discussing divergent views
is part of this process. The last P5 meeting involving representatives from capitals
took place in October 2017 when the dialogue on strategic stability and nuclear doctrines,
started in October 2016, continued. The P5 also meet at expert level in a number of
different fora. The next P5 meeting should take place in the margins of the second
Preparatory Committee for the 2020 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference
in Geneva.</p>
