China said on Monday it appreciated the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for taking a "transparent" and "responsible" approach in implementing its peaceful nuclear energy plan according to international law.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu made the remarks when commenting on the UAE's release of a white paper on its policy for the potential development of a peaceful nuclear energy on Sunday.
"China supports the UAE, a signatory state to the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons Treaty (NPT), to enjoy the right of the peaceful use of the nuclear energy."
She said China had noticed the white paper that expressed the UAE's pledges to renounce the development of any domestic enrichment or reprocessing capabilities in favor of long-term arrangements for the external supply of nuclear fuel.
The emirates will also follow a set of guiding principles, including complete operational transparency, the highest standards of non-proliferation, safety and security, and close coordination with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the white paper said.
