Beijing, June 29: China on Tuesday said it was not in favour of welcoming India and Pakistan into the five-member exclusive nuclear club and hoped the international community would stick to principles of nuclear non-proliferation treaty as well as the spirit of the UN Security Council resolution passed soon after the South Asian nuclear tests of May 1998.

"The international community should stick to the spirit and principles enshrined in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) as well as the consensus reached in the UN Security Council Resolution 1172," Chinese Assistant Foreign Minister, Shen Guofang, told a group of Indian journalists here.

"In our region, we have seen many wars and conflicts, which have been either due to historical reasons or mutual non-confidence. So we believe that peace and development should be the main principles and policies for the countries in this region," he said.

Shen said this when asked to comment on New Delhi and Islamabad’s quest to be recognised as nuclear powers along with Britain, China, France, the Untied States and Russia.

Shen also gave a similar response when asked for China’s reaction to External Affairs Minister K Natwar Singh's statement that India, Pakistan and China should have a "common nuclear doctrine".

"On principle, we oppose the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Our consistent position is for a comprehensive ban and thorough destruction of nuclear weapons. The NPT and as well as the UNSC Resolution 1172 should be our guiding principle," Shen said.

Not really. This has been the US and Chinese stance for India since the May '98 events. No change in position, nor has India really wanted to be included in any special N-club, frankly because it doesn't effect India as she's isn't a signatory to the NPT.

i think idea should be. that it should be able to manufacture its own NUKE SUB in about 10 years time and its own Nuke powerplat, i reckon dam the recognition, the thing that matters is what you are not what people think of you.

Pathfinder-X,

China doesn't object the SC seat for India, the N-Club it does object. N-Club member's have the right develop and test nukes, but all of them have signed the CTBT, so they are obliged not to test.

India (and Pak) have signed neither the CTBT or the NPT therefore us being bind by no regulations. India's SC seat will depend on this Congress Govt's attitude towards the US, the US finds the BJP alliance friendly and if it finds the Congress alliance friendly enough then it won't mind India being admitted in the SC.

UK, France, Russia and surprisingly China have no objections, US is playing it cool and non-commital.

Pakistan and India are Both neuclear powers. World has to admit it although there are not included in N-clube. But they will be in future. I will Oppose the idea that only india become member of Security Counsil or become member of N-Clude

look guys we have only tested 4 or 5 nuclear bombs both Pakistan and India.if u check the nuclear history of the above mentioned five members they have done it several times.
secondly India will get permenant seat of SC bcoz its population is more the 100 corore and it is standing against China.Pakistan will never get permenant seat in SC bcoz the basic reason is it is a Muslim country.and after 5 to 10 years Pakistan will role back its nuclear program if US continues. :cop
