英语文摘：NPT review conference approves final document

The review conference is convened every five years to review and advance the objectives of the NPT, under which nations without nuclear weapons committed not to acquire them; those with them committed to move toward their elimination; and all endorsed everyone's right to develop peaceful nuclear energy.

The last conference in 2005 was largely considered a failure as members were unable to agree on a number of issues nor produce a final document.

After the adoption of the final document, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon issued a statement, welcoming the "successful outcome" of the conference.

"A strong spirit of compromise and cooperation has delivered a significant agreement to build a safer and more secure world," said Ban.

U.S. representatives attend the closing of the 2010 Review Conference on Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty (NPT) at the UN headquarters in New York, the United States, May 28, 2010. The 2010 Review Conference on Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty (NPT) concluded here on Friday with a final document toward nuclear disarmament approved.

The statement said Ban "particularly welcomed" the agreement on a process leading to full implementation of the 1995 resolution on the establishment of a Middle East nuclear weapon-free zone.

He encouraged state parties to translate all of their commitments into concrete action so to realize the common goal of a world without nuclear weapons.
