<p>The UK Mission to the UN in New York regularly discusses a broad range of foreign
and security issues including nuclear disarmament with a broad range of partners including
the UN, French and US Missions. As a responsible nuclear weapons state, the UK is
committed to the long term goal of a world without nuclear weapons and we continue
to work with our international partners to tackle proliferation and to make progress
on nuclear disarmament. However, we do not believe the UN High Level Conference in
May 2018 will lead to effective progress on nuclear disarmament. It will not address
the serious threats to international peace and security posed by nuclear proliferation
nor will it take account of the international security environment. We will consider
our approach to the Conference closer to the time.</p>
