To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent discussions he has had with his international counterparts and partners on progress towards nuclear disarmament.

Asked by:
Nadia Whittome (Labour)

Answer

The Foreign Secretary regularly discusses issues related to international security with international counterparts. Earlier this year, P5 Foreign Ministers of the five Nuclear Weapon States issued a joint declaration reaffirming our commitment to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, to mark the Treaty's 50th anniversary. The UK Government hosted a P5 Conference in London on 12-13 February, which allowed the five Nuclear Weapon States to deepen our engagement on nuclear issues, including disarmament. Officials also continue to have regular discussions with international partners on multilateral disarmament.
