The First Committee of the UN General Assembly has adopted by vote a resolution initiated by Belarus on prohibiting the development and manufacturing of new types of weapons of mass destruction. The Belarusian initiative was supported by 177 states, which underscores its relevance and significance for international efforts to strengthen the disarmament and non-proliferation regime. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs added that Belarus will continue to consistently advocate for the strengthening of international security, the development of constructive dialogue and the consolidation of efforts by states to prevent the emergence of new types of weapons of mass destruction.
