Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what further representations they have made to President Xi Jinping regarding China's nuclear activity with Russia.

The UK engages regularly with China on counter-proliferation issues and there is considerable scope for constructive engagement and cooperation. The UK encourages all States Party to the Treaty on the Non Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons to abide by their obligations and commitments under that treaty, and in particular for nuclear weapon states to take their special responsibilities seriously.
