國防部：美英澳核動力合作協議嚴重破壞國際核不擴散體系

Ministry of National Defense: The US-UK-Australia Nuclear Propulsion Agreement Severely Undermine the International Non-Proliferation Regime

8月29日下午，國防部舉行例行記者會，國防部新聞局局長、國防部新聞發言人吳謙大校答記者問。

記者：據報道，美英澳在三邊安全伙伴關系框架下簽署了《美英澳海軍核動力合作協議》。澳大利亞副總理兼防長稱，簽署的合作協議允許三國交換核材料及核信息。請問發言人有何評論？

Question: It is reported that Agreement Among the Government of Australia, the Government of the United Kingdom of Greater Britain and Northern Ireland, and the Government of the United States of America for Cooperation Related to Naval Nuclear Propulsion was signed under the framework of AUKUS. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defense of Australia said that the Agreement will enable the AUKUS partners to share nuclear materials and information. What’s your comment？

吳謙：美英澳建立所謂“三邊安全伙伴關系”，簽署有關核動力合作協議，為核武器國家向無核武器國家轉讓核潛艇動力堆及大量武器級高濃縮鈾大開綠燈，嚴重破壞國際核不擴散體系，嚴重刺激核軍備競賽，嚴重危害地區和平穩定，引發國際社會高度關切，澳國內質疑的聲音也從未停止過。希望有關國家認真傾聽有識之士和國際社會呼聲，摒棄冷戰零和博弈的執念，不要在錯誤和危險的道路上越走越遠。

Wu Qian: The US, the UK and Australia set up the so-called AUKUS, and signed a cooperation agreement on nuclear propulsion to greenlight the transfer of nuclear-powered submarine reactors, as well as a large number of weapons-grade highly enriched uranium from nuclear-weapon states to non-nuclear-weapon states. Such acts severely undermine the international non-proliferation regime, gravely provoke nuclear arms race around the world, and seriously jeopardize regional peace and stability. It has triggered strong concern in the international community, with lots of questions raised by the Australian people themselves. We urge relevant parties to earnestly listen to the insightful and visionary voices from the international community, abandon their obsession with the Cold War and zero-sum mentality, and refrain from going further down the wrong and dangerous path.
