<p>Our officials actively participated in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)
2014 Preparatory Committee, which provided a valuable opportunity to engage with NPT
States Parties on priorities for the Review Conference. The Government’s objectives
reflect our overall approach to the NPT: we want to agree further progress towards
a world free from nuclear weapons and to highlight our actions in support of this;
encourage action that will help to contain any threat of proliferation or non-compliance
with the NPT; and support the responsible global expansion of civil nuclear industries.
We believe that the NPT is the cornerstone of the international nuclear non-proliferation
regime, and we therefore hope that NPT States Parties will be able to agree a consensual
outcome balanced across all three mutually-reinforcing pillars to strengthen that
position.</p>
