At a Nov. 2 regular briefing CHINA said the UN First Committee at the 81st UN
General Assembly on Oct. 31 adopted a Chinese resolution promoting international
cooperation for the peaceful use of technology in the field of international
security. The text calls for balancing development and security, strengthening
the UN role, safeguarding developing countries' legitimate rights to peaceful
use of technology, and urges states to take concrete measures to promote
cooperation while avoiding restrictive measures inconsistent with their
international obligations. CHINA said it was the fourth time since 2021 China
had submitted such a resolution and that implementing it is a key component of
China's Global Security Initiative.
