concerning the establishment of a nuclear-weapon-free zone in South Asia,
Reiterating its conviction that the establishment of nuclear-weapon-free
zones in various regions of the world is one of the measures that can
contribute effectively to the objectives of non-proliferation of nuclear
weapons and general and complete disarmament,
Believing that the establishment of a nuclear-weapon-free zone in South
Asia, as in other regions, will assist in the strengthening of the security of
the States of the region against the use or threat of use of nuclear weapons,
Taking note with appreciation of the declarations issued at the highest
level by the Governments of South Asian States that are developing their
peaceful nuclear programmes, reaffirming their undertaking not to acquire or
manufacture nuclear weapons and to devote their nuclear programmes exclusively
to the economic and social advancement of their peoples,
Welcoming the recent proposal for the conclusion of a bilateral or
regional nuclear-test-ban agreement in South Asia,
