China would continue working with the international community to promote the peaceful use of nuclear energy, Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Dejiang told a nuclear energy conference Monday.
The Chinese Government always stands for the complete prohibition and thorough destruction of nuclear weapons and firmly opposes proliferation of nuclear weapons in any form, Zhang said.
He said China would continue fulfilling its international obligation and join with other countries and international organizations to strengthen the international non-proliferation system and promote the peaceful use of nuclear power.
The three-day ministerial conference, organized by China and the International Atomic Energy Agency, attracted energy ministers or other representatives from more than 60 countries to discuss nuclear power issues.
