/ world today news/ At the currently held meeting of the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), criticism was made of the AUCUS pact, which provides for cooperation between the USA, Great Britain and Australia in the development of nuclear submarines. The Chinese representative called for speeding up intergovernmental consultations on this issue, and Russia, Pakistan, Indonesia, Brazil and other countries supported him.
At China’s instigation, the IAEA held an eighth consecutive intergovernmental discussion on the issue, once again thwarting an attempt by the US, Britain and Australia to pressure the agency’s secretariat to allow them to proceed with their plans for nuclear submarines.
From a legal point of view, cooperation between the three countries to develop nuclear submarines violates the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, IAEA rules and the South Pacific Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The AUCUS trilateral cooperation is actually nuclear proliferation.
According to a military expert, the US and Great Britain are planning to transfer several tons of enriched uranium to Australia. If this plan is carried out, it will constitute a violation of the international system of nuclear non-proliferation and a blow to the maintenance of a nuclear-free zone in Southeast Asia. Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has warned that the AUCUS pact is the start of a dangerous arms race. If this situation continues, the world will face greater challenges.
The Asia-Pacific region is a place for cooperation and development, not a field of great power rivalry. Nuclear safety is linked to the fate of humanity and should not be a political tool for a country to pursue its interests. In this sense, AUCUS has wrong intentions and motives that will harm the region, and it is not a private affair of the three countries, but should be decided together by all the members of the IAEA.`
