<p>The second of three Preparatory Committees for the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty
(NPT) Review Conference in 2020 will take place in Geneva in April. At that meeting,
we will continue to engage with a wide range of states on how we can tackle the challenges
that we face on non-proliferation and disarmament, and on how to enable access to
the peaceful use of nuclear technology. The UK plays a leading role on disarmament
verification and we will continue to press for the entry into force of the Comprehensive
Test Ban Treaty, the start of negotiations on a Fissile Material Cut-Off Treaty in
the Conference on Disarmament and increased transparency and trust between Nuclear
Weapons States in order to develop the global conditions in which nuclear armed states
feel confident enough to relinquish their weapons. We continue to urge all states
that have not yet done so, to join the NPT as non-Nuclear Weapons States.</p>
