The United States and Russia must reduce their nuclear arsenal irreversibly and with the adoption of legal obligations, according to Beijing.

Russia and the United States must reduce their nuclear arsenals. This statement was made by Fu Cong, Director of the Arms Control Department of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, writes Interfax on Tuesday, January 4th.

“The United States and Russia still have 90% of the nuclear warheads on Earth, and they must reduce their nuclear arsenal irreversibly and with legal obligations,” he said.

The official rejected Washington’s claims that China is building up its nuclear arsenal.

“The US claims that China is significantly increasing its nuclear capabilities are untrue. China has always been the first to use weapons, and we keep the nuclear arsenal at the minimum level necessary to ensure our national security,” Fu Cong said.

He also indicated that China will continue to modernize it in accordance with its own needs.

The day before, the United States, Russia, China, Great Britain and France issued a joint statement in which they announced their intention to prevent nuclear war and an arms race.
