The 11th NPT meeting failed to reach a consensus.

VTV.vn - At the United Nations headquarters in New York (USA), the 11th Review Conference of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) concluded without adopting a final document.

The failure of the 11th NPT Summit to reach a consensus shows that significant differences remain among member states in the context of global conflict and the increasing risk of nuclear weapons use.

This is the third consecutive time the NPT conference has failed to adopt a final document. The closing session lasted more than two hours longer than scheduled. Amidst the increasing threat from nuclear weapons, demanding urgent action, the parties still struggled to narrow their differences on issues such as US-Iran tensions, the modernization and expansion of nuclear arsenals, the risk of renewed nuclear testing, and several attacks on nuclear facilities.

Nuclear-armed states have also yet to make specific commitments and have not provided a clearer roadmap for disarmament obligations. Meanwhile, inspections at some nuclear facilities continue to face difficulties. UN Deputy Secretary-General Izumi Nakamitsu emphasized that the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons remains a cornerstone of the international security structure.

Ms. Izumi Nakamitsu stated: "The Chair of the NPT Conference has created new momentum in the negotiation process. Member states remain seriously and substantively engaged, as all parties share a common understanding of the current crisis. They understand the need to work towards a specific outcome and to collaborate in the context of the deeply fragmented and divided geopolitical landscape."

To date, 191 countries have joined the NPT Treaty, including 5 countries recognized as possessing nuclear weapons.

Even if this NPT conference does not reach a final agreement, member states – including nuclear-armed parties – are still demonstrating efforts to engage in constructive dialogue. This aims to narrow differences, strengthen trust, and contribute to the ultimate goal of completely eliminating the nuclear threat.
