The United States Government— recognizes that the spread of nuclear weapons, and their means of delivery, constitutes a threat to international peace and security; seeks to peacefully address the unique challenge posed to regional and global stability by the illicit use, and the proliferation to and from North Korea, of sensitive nuclear and missile technologies; notes efforts by China and Russia— to expand and modernize their respective nuclear arsenals; and to pursue sales of commercial nuclear technologies; and recognizes the legitimate pursuit by many countries in the Indo-Pacific region of nuclear energy for a variety of peaceful applications.
It is the sense of Congress that the United States Government should undertake all reasonable and appropriate efforts to pursue effective arms control and nuclear nonproliferation policies in the Indo-Pacific region to limit the further spread of potentially dangerous and destabilizing conventional and nuclear weapons.
