人们对全球环境如此越来越不信任，这种情况造成的一个结果是，军备和武器绕过军备控制机制不断扩散，在世界许多地方造成诸多痛苦。我们作为会员国很有信心。我们为自己立了一个志向，就是到2030年我们应当实现可持续发展目标。若无和平与安全，就无法实现这些目标。和平与安全是可持续发展必不可少的因素。实现国际裁军和军备控制机制的目标对于营造能够呈现一派和平气象并且能够满足社区发展需求的环境至关重要。
One result of such growing mistrust in the global environment is the proliferation of arms and weapons that bypass arms control mechanisms, causing much suffering across many parts of the world. We, as Member States, are very confident. We gave ourselves 2030 as the target by which we should achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Those Goals are unachievable without peace and security. Peace and security are essential building blocks for sustainable development. The fulfilment of the objectives of international disarmament and arms control mechanisms are essential to providing an environment where peace can thrive and the development needs of communities can be fulfilled.
