Closing Remarks
--------------
74. (SBU) Under Secretary Tauscher stated she was grateful
to Her Majesty's Government for putting together this
Conference. She enjoyed the opportunity to get to know her
P5 colleagues, and hoped this effort would lay a good
foundation for further collaboration on the important issues
raised during this Conference. The Obama Administration was
committed to strengthening the NPT as the basis of the
international nuclear nonproliferation regime. The
Conference had enhanced understanding among the P5 concerning
the verification and compliance challenges associated with
nuclear nonproliferation and disarmament, as well as
demonstrating that the P5 could work together to meet NPT
Article VI commitments and related issues in preparation for
next year's Review Conference. The United States would
consider carefully the issues and recommendations raised
during this Conference.
75. (SBU) Leslie (UK) stated that there was joint agreement
to remain in touch regarding a common approach to the NPT
Review Conference, with a view of using the conference
constructively. The specific timing of such continued
cooperation remained to be determined; however, the P5
committed to share their calendars of upcoming dates. The UK
was committed to meeting again, and noted a willingness on
the part of the rest of the P5 to continue to cooperate. One
such area for further cooperation was the development of a
glossary in each of the P5 languages for terminology.
76. (SBU) He (China) noted that China and the United States
had conducted work on developing a glossary, and he could
agree in principle to working on one in the P5 context.
Ryabkov (Russia) shared the optimism of those who valued
cooperation with the United States and the other P5, and
looked forward to further work in this area. Leslie (UK)
said that she looked to China and Russia to work on a
proposal for a working group to discuss establishment of a P5
glossary. She noted that, in the area of nuclear accident
response, it was not possible to agree to form a working
group at this time; however, she encouraged each state to
consider possible ways forward, and asked Sankey to report
back on the progress made by the P5 in this regard.
