The UK is monitoring international developments in missile technology. We will continue to push for all countries to act responsibly in the international system. The UK engages regularly with Chinese officials and civil society on arms control issues, including through our annual dialogue on Counter Proliferation and discussions with the Chinese Arms Control and Disarmament Association. We further these discussions with China through the P5 Process.
