<p>We work with international partners in a variety of fora to prevent nuclear proliferation
and to help achieve our shared goal of nuclear disarmament. The UK plays a very active
role in the Iran nuclear negotiations, in upholding sanctions against the Democratic
People's Republic of Korea, and in applying export controls via the Nuclear Suppliers
Group. We encourage States that have not yet done so, to sign up to the Comprehensive
Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) so that this important treaty can enter into force,
pending which we provide significant financial and technical support to the international
monitoring system designed to detect nuclear tests. We also encourage States that
have not done so to sign up to International Atomic Energy Agency Additional Protocols.
We continue to urge the start and early completion of negotiations in the Conference
on Disarmament on a Fissile Material Cut off Treaty, to seek universalisation of the
Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and continue to work to build trust and confidence
with other Nuclear Weapon States through the P5 process.</p>
