主席女士，

Madam President,

自核武器出现以来，人类一直生活在核战争威胁的巨大阴影之下。全面禁止和彻底销毁核武器，实现无核武器世界，是一切热爱和平人们的共同夙愿，也是中国一贯倡导并不懈追求的目标。

Ever since nuclear weapons came into being, mankind has been living under the enormous shadow of the threat of a nuclear war. To achieve the complete prohibition and thorough destruction of nuclear weapons for a world free of nuclear weapons is the common aspiration of all peace-loving people. It is also a goal that China has all along been advocating and pursuing with unremitting efforts.

早在上世纪60年代初，中国政府就郑重发表声明，倡议召开世界各国首脑会议，讨论全面禁止和彻底销毁核武器问题。作为核武器国家，中国从不回避自己在核裁军方面的责任。

Back in the early 1960s, the Chinese Government issued a solemn statement, calling for the convening of a summit of world leaders to discuss the issue of complete prohibition and thorough destruction of nuclear weapons. As a nuclear-weapon state, China has never evaded its responsibilities in nuclear disarmament.

中国发展有限的核力量，完全是为了自卫。中国始终恪守在任何时候和任何情况下都不首先使用核武器，无条件不对无核武器国家和无核武器区使用或威胁使用核武器的承诺，是唯一做出上述承诺的核武器国家。中国这一政策今后也不会改变。

It is solely for the purpose of self-defense that China has developed limited nuclear capabilities. And we have faithfully abided by our commitment that we will not be the first to use nuclear weapons at any time and under any circumstances and that we will unconditionally not use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear-weapon states or nuclear-weapon-free zones. In fact, we are the only nuclear-weapon state that has undertaken such a commitment and this policy will not change in the future.

中国在核武器发展方面，始终采取极为克制的态度。中国从未在别国部署核武器，从来没有、今后也不会参加任何形式的核军备竞赛。这本身就是我们为核裁军事业做出的独特贡献。

China has always exercised utmost restraint in the development of nuclear weapons. We have never deployed such weapons on foreign soil. We have never participated in any form of nuclear arms race and nor will we ever do so. This, in itself, is our unique contribution to the cause of nuclear disarmament.
