New York
Dear Mr. President',
Dear Sir is secretary general,
Respected delegates,First of all, please on behalf of the delegation of the republic of Uzbekistan to be joined to those sounded into your address, Mr. President ', to congratulations on occasion of election to so important and critical a post. We supported your election, on the basis of that role, which plays your country in a matter of global nuclear disarmament and, in particular, guarantee of universality of the agreement about the universal prohibition of nuclear tests. It is confident, that your contribution will become one of that determining in the plan/layout of the successful conducting of this conference.
Mr. President ',
The republic of Uzbekistan in the number of first 10 states ratified this agreement. In this appeared not only a fundamental understanding of importance DVZYAI, but also desire to bring real benefit in the solution of the problems of prohibition and nondissemination of nuclear weapons, improvement in the ecological state of planet, strengthening global and regional safety and stability, or encouraging the international collaboration in the sphere of the use of nuclear energy for the peaceful purposes.
With the entrance of world association into the new millennium we became the witnesses of the continuous interlacing of the existed problems with the increasing number of new calls, connected/bonded with the dynamic development of scientifically- technological progress and the expansion of access to the information and the technologies.
As one of the key factors, which ensure global safety and stability, Uzbekistan examines the regional cooperation of states. Uzbekistan completely supports the principle of the indivisibility of safety, and in this context, being the initiator of the creation of zone, free from the nuclear weapons, in central Asia, feels responsibility for strengthening of the universal regime/conditions of nuclear nondissemination and is intended actively to participate in the process of producing the international tools in this region.
It is necessary to note that the last events in the world revealed the emergency for radical measures for strengthening of the global regimes/conditions of prohibition and nondissemination of the weapon of mass-destruction and effective mechanisms on their maintenance. In the beginning of new millennium the tendency of the expansion of the scale of the activity became obvious
the terrorist groups: withdrawal/departure from the traditional terrorism of narrow directivity is accompanied by the attempts to master the components of weapon of mass-destruction. In this connection, Uzbekistan solidly entertains idea itself that the curtailment of nuclear tests for military purposes and modernization of nuclear armaments, and also the sequential realization of the verifikatsionnykh measures is the important condition for strengthening the regime/conditions of nuclear disarmament.
Coming forward in Summit the millennium OF UNITED NATIONS in 2000 years, the President of Uzbekistan Islam Karimov emphasized the need of averting the potential access of terrorist groups to the fatal means of the weapon of mass-destruction and destruction of the sources of financing terrorist activity. It is difficult even to present the consequences of obtaining this access by terrorists, and therefore Uzbekistan speaks in favor of fast completion of development and adoption of the international convention about the fight with the reports/events of nuclear terrorism.
The republic of Uzbekistan considers DVZYAI as one of the most effective tools of the restraining of nuclear propagation and its development and, correspondingly, it speaks in favor of the fast entrance of this agreement into the force. We also positively evaluate the efforts/forces of the preparatory commission of organization DVZYAI, directed toward strengthening of polygonal collaboration at the regional, interregional and global levels in the sphere of the guarantee of universality of present agreement and realization of its positions.
Mr. President ',
He would want to again confirm complete support by the delegation of Uzbekistan of your efforts/forces, undertaken for achievement of the successful results of this conference, and to also note that, being participant DVZYAI, Uzbekistan and subsequently will render of every kind practical aid for the realization of the targets/purposes of the agreement about the universal prohibition of nuclear tests.
I thank for the attention.
