The United Nations Disarmament Commission (UNDC) plays an irreplaceable role as the sole multilateral disarmament deliberative body. For years, the UNDC has put forward many valuable recommendations in promoting the international arms control and disarmament process, and some norms it set up have become guiding documents in this field. In recent years, the UNDC has not yet achieved substantial progress in its work, which reflects the divergent views of various parties concerning relevant arms control and disarmament issues.

Under the current circumstances, it is particularly important to preserve and reinforce the role of the UNDC. China hopes all parties can take a realistic attitude and bridge gaps with the aim of promoting the work of the UNDC and making contribution to multilateral arms control and disarmament process.
