China: President of the Security Council for the month of May 2026 -Press Conference |United Nations

Chinese Ambassador Fu Cong said that if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed by the time of a planned visit to China by US President Donald Trump, “this issue will be high on the agenda of the bilateral talks” adding that the China-US relations go "far beyond” the Strait. As China assumes the presidency of the UN Security Council for May, Ambassador Cong today (01 May) outlined priorities for the month, including a ministerial-level open debate on 26 May titled “Upholding the purposes and principles of the UN Charter.” The meeting is expected to be chaired by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. On the Strait of Hormuz, Ambassador Cong called for its reopening “as quickly as possible,” saying the responsibility lies with both sides. He said Iran should lift restrictions in the Strait, while the United States should end its naval blockade. The Chinese diplomat also expressed concern over recent statements suggesting the US-Iran ceasefire could be temporary and that further military action might be considered. He said the international community should speak out against a resumption of hostilities. Addressing China–US relations, Ambassador Cong said it is in the interest of both countries and the wider international community for the ties to remain “steady, sound and sustainable.” He added that “mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation” are key to the relationship’s development. The Chinese diplomat continued, “the world is big enough to accommodate both China and the United States, it doesn't have to be a zero-sum game between the two countries. He said preparations are underway for what he described as a “historic visit” by the US president, adding that China hopes the visit will take place. At the United Nations, Ambassador Cong said China and the United States have “space to cooperation.” He said, “it is incumbent upon both China and the United States to help maintain the international order and to support the role of the UN and the biggest financial contributors of the organization. And there are a lot of commonalities in the positions in how the UN is run.” He emphasized, “the UN is for all Member States, so no big power should adopt this approach that the interests of that big country should be put above the interests of the entire membership.” Asked about China’s military involvement with Iran, Ambassador Cong said, “there is no military cooperation between China and Iran,” and described allegations to the contrary by some US officials as “false.” He said China sympathizes with the suffering of the Iranian people and supports efforts to bring an end to the fighting. On the selection of the next UN Secretary-General, the Chinese diplomat said China supports the principle of geographical rotation and would welcome the appointment of a woman to the post. Ambassador Cong concluded by reaffirming China’s continued support for the United Nations and for countries of the Global South, saying China’s ability to provide assistance would grow as the country develops.

International Day of Vesak 2026 - UN Chief's Message | United Nations

Video message by António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, on the International Day of Vesak. "On the Day of Vesak, Buddhists around the world commemorate the birth, enlightenment, and passing of the Buddha. This year, Vesak comes at a moment when the human family is embroiled in geopolitical tensions, division and conflict. In 2023 I had the honour of visiting the Buddha’s birthplace in Lumbini, Nepal. It reinforced my conviction that the antidote to this turmoil can be found in his timeless teachings of non-violence, compassion and service to others. Guided by the Buddha’s example, let us summon our shared humanity and build the more peaceful and sustainable world all people need and deserve. Happy Vesak Day to all".

Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons - Press Conference | United Nations

Press conference by Rafael Mariano Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, on the Eleventh Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Chief Rafael Mariano Grossi said the Review Conference of the NPT taking place “almost immediately” after the start of a war “that has been predicated on the possibility of one country developing nuclear weapons,” constitutes a challenge because, “there are sides in a war, and people obviously do not see eye to eye.” Taking questions from journalists in New York as the 11th Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) gets underway, Grossi said Iran had declared a new enrichment facility before the June 2025 United States and Israeli coordinated strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites. He said, “we immediately requested access to it, which was granted, actually. And paradoxically, access was going to take place on June 13th, on the day the attacks commenced. So, we were not in a position to visit this place. So, we could not say at this point whether this place was simply an empty hall, or a place where already cascades and centrifuges were being placed for operation.” Asked about the possibility of finding consensus on Iran, Grossi said, “in the past, we would have resolutions adopted without a vote at this United Nations Security Council on Iran. Many, several. And then, equally, when the JCPoA was adopted. That common denominator among the membership and in particular the five permanent members of the Security Council is no longer there. It doesn't mean, and we should strive for that maybe, it doesn't mean that we cannot reconstruct some degree of consensus around what is happening there. But at the moment, unlike in the past, we don't have it.” Asked about the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine, he said, “the most important thing at the moment, is to ensure that there is no accident. It's not an easy task, I can assure you. We are at the moment negotiating the sixth ceasefire. We were able to achieve five already, and the sixth is necessary now to conduct some indispensable repairs on the external power lines that feeds the nuclear power plant there. So, this is our main objective at the moment.” Asked about Iran’s highly enriched uranium and whether it is still at the Isfahan site, the IAEA Director-General said, “there is no peace. There is only a ceasefire. And there is probably this difficulty in accessing. Until my inspectors can go and verify that there is no access, we cannot confirm that this is the situation. We are being told that this is the case. So, there are lots of things we tried last year with the Cairo Agreement to pave the way for a return of the inspectors there, but of course, with the new war episode this is still delayed.” Asked about the possibility reviving the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action” (JCPoA) as a starting point for new negotiations, he said, “Iran in the past few years has had an exponential progress in its program. It has last generation centrifuges, it has different compounds in Esfahan, and we were talking about just new facilities. So, it's a completely different ball game, as one would say here in America. So JCPoA could not constitute a basis We need to look into something different.” The NPT Review Conference is being held from 27 April to 22 May 2026 at United Nations Headquarters in New York. The NPT, in force since 1970 and extended indefinitely in 1995, is considered the cornerstone of the global nuclear non-proliferation regime.

Nuclear expansion testing: “It may never be able to be stopped” - Press Conference | United Nations

Press conference by Robert Floyd, Executive Secretary of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO), on the vital role of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) in advancing the NPT's (Eleventh Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons) non-proliferation and disarmament objectives. Floyd addressed the press on the vital role of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) in advancing the non-proliferation and disarmament objectives of the Eleventh Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). He said, “The NPT Review Conference and Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference here this week, but for the next four weeks, is an important review of the cornerstone of the nuclear nonproliferation and disarmament architecture.” He said that CTBTO “is about implementing a treaty that sits within that architecture, and that is a treaty, the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, banning nuclear explosions of any size - from the tiniest to the largest. That is an essential part of being able to stop the spread of nuclear weapons around the world from state to state, and also to limit the further development of nuclear weapons.” He continued, “The Treaty has not yet entered into force, and therefore is not legally binding, but our international monitoring system will detect a nuclear weapon explosion of 500 tons of TNT or above, anywhere across the face of the planet, or underwater, underground, it will be detected. And that is a powerful benefit to all humanity, because any state that thinks of developing a nuclear weapon would need to test one, and if they did, it will be known to all.” He highlighted, “In the current situation, the CTBT and the ban on testing is a little bit more in front of mind than what it has been for a long time, particularly when states are threatening to return to testing and the likelihood that if one state tests, others would and even more would potentially then go into a spiral of expanded testing. That is a spiral that we do not want to see start, because it may never be able to be stopped.” He reported, “We have 187 states have signed. 178 have ratified. But there are nine specific ones that still need to ratify so the treaty could become legally binding. That is an important issue.” Answering a question, he said, “We need to see a way that the United States of America, the Russian Federation, the People's Republic of China, might be able to address the treaty and its ratification together. It is, I think, quite unlikely that any one of them would move on that without the others simultaneously moving together. And that certainly is something that I would encourage all of those states to consider, and that would certainly be a powerful step forward.”
