China also applauded the IAEA's efforts to promote infrastructural development in the newly developing countries' nuclear industries, and would like to cooperate with the IAEA in this field.

Moreover, Wang pointed out that with the rapid growth of nuclear energy, it was also important to ensure nuclear safety and security and prevent nuclear terrorism in the meantime.

The IAEA "should continue active efforts in advancing the establishment of global nuclear safety and security legislation and standard system."

On the issue of developing multilateral nuclear fuel cycle mechanisms, Wang believed it "has a certain positive significance for the peaceful use of nuclear energy and the effective prevention of nuclear proliferation." However, it should also "ensure the justice and non-discrimination" in the implementation process.

In order to improve efficient safeguards and ensure the peaceful use of nuclear energy, the IAEA should "strengthen cooperation with member states, while improving its own technical capacity."

Regarding nuclear issues in Iran and on the Korean Peninsula, Wang noted that China had been consistently advocating "peaceful solution through dialogues and negotiations" to resolve these regional nuclear issues.

China would also cooperate with all relevant parties to actively push for denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and find an appropriate solution to the Iranian nuclear issue.

He spoke highly of the contribution of outgoing IAEA Director-General Mohamed ElBaradei in promoting the peaceful uses of nuclear energy and preventing nuclear proliferation during his term.

Wang also congratulated former Japanese Ambassador Yukiya Amano on his nomination as the next director-general of the agency.

The 53rd General Conference of the IAEA is being held in Vienna from September 14 to September 18. About 1,500 delegates from 150 member states are attending.
