The Foreign Minister G.Zandanshatar addressed the 1st part of the 2012 Conference on Disarmament which started January 24 and will last until March 30 in Geneva. He spoke about Mongolia's current situation in multilateral disarmament.
He drew attention to the 20th anniversary of Mongolia's nuclear weapon free zone (NWFZ) and highlighted Mongolia's efforts to further institutionalize its nuclear weapons free status. He further emphasized the need for the P5 (Nuclear weapon states) to agree on negative security assurances (NSAs) for the Mongolian zone. He argued that Mongolia's efforts on nuclear disarmament shows "that all nations, including small states, can make their concrete contribution towards the goal of achieving a nuclear-weapons-free world."
The US Ambassador Laura Kennedy congratulated Mongolia on its NWFZ anniversary and stated that she looked forward to further work with Mongolia on that issue.
Mr. Zandanshatar also expressed his country's view that NWFZs can greatly contribute to strengthening both global and regional peace and the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). He also expressed support of the six party talks with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) over its nuclear programme. Although Mongolia is not a party to these talks, he explained that his country has contributed by hosting a bilateral meeting between Japan and the DPRK and will be hosting a working group on the mechanism of peace and security in Northeast Asia once the talks resume.
Mr. Zandanshatar highlighted that these efforts are supported by Mongolia's hope to create a Northeast Asian NWFZ.
The Mongolia's FM also argued that putting an end to the stalemate in the Conference on Disarmament is one of several steps to achieve progress towards the ultimate goal of total elimination of nuclear weapons, including an "early start of negotiations on a Nuclear Weapons Convention as well as on a Fissile Material Cut-off Treaty." Other steps of urgent priority, he noted, are the entry in to force of the Comprehensive nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), adopting legally-binding NSAs, and implementing the 2010 NPT action plan.
