Ministry of Foreign Affairs: urged the United States to make a comprehensive clarification of its biological military activities to explain to the international community a responsible

On September 13, a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Mao Ning presided over a regular press conference. A reporter asked: On September 9, the Consultation Conference of the Contracting Convention on Biological Weapons was closed in Geneva. Can China introduce the situation of the meeting? What are the comments on the meeting?

According to Mao Ning, at the request of Russia, the Convention on Biological Weapons was held in Geneva from September 5th to September 9th from September 5th to September 9th. The theme of this meeting was to review the issues of the United States. The majority of contracting countries attached great importance to the meeting and also participated in the meeting extensively.

We noticed that Russia showed a series of evidence materials at the meeting, accusing the United States' biological military activities that violate the Convention on Biological Weapons, and the United States responded to this. At the meeting, other parties including China, including China, raised many issues that need to be clarified by the United States, and advocated restarting the negotiations of the Convention to verify the letter as soon as possible in order to fundamentally ensure that the Convention was effectively implemented. Unfortunately, the United States did not make full and effective response to the above allegations and doubts, and failed to resolve the concerns of the contract. In the next step, the party will further study and deal with issues related to the United States.

Mao Ning pointed out that the United States is the country with the most biological military activities in the world, and the only country that refuses to negotiate the "Prohibition of the Convention on Biological Weapons" to verify the lipping letter. The international community has long been concerned about this. China supports the convention in accordance with the provisions of the Convention, with an objective and impartial attitude, and continues to conduct review of the relevant issues of the United States. We have also urged the United States to make a comprehensive clarification of its biological military activities, stop exclusive obstacles to restarting to verify the negotiations, and give the international community a responsible explanation.
