We have worked closely with
We have worked closely with the US and other nations to combat the
threat of terrorism in Afghanistan and in Iraq.The threat of the proliferation
of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons – and their use by
rogue states or terrorist groups – is a pressing issue for the world today.
We have worked with the US to ensure that Libya has given up its
WMD, and we will continue with France and Germany to ensure that
Iran does not develop nuclear weapons. In North Korea we will support
the multilateral approach of the Six Parties talks.We will continue
to strongly support the peace process between India and Pakistan, and
back moves to resolve the long-running dispute over Kashmir.And we
will work to put an end to the international network of trade in
weapons of mass destruction. Labour has already introduced a strict
regime to control the export of conventional weapons, and we led
moves for EU-wide measures.We will work actively to secure an international
treaty on the arms trade.
