Vietnam also affirmed the need to maintain a balanced approach to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, ensuring harmony among its pillars of non-proliferation, disarmament, and the peaceful use of nuclear energy. This is seen as a foundation for strengthening trust, enhancing transparency, and improving the effectiveness of global governance in the nuclear field.
