Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, and hope that other coun­ tries which have not yet become parties will do so in the very near future. They favour the conclusion of an intern11tional agreement under which nuclear weapons would not be deployed in countries where they do not exist at present and their numbers would not be increased in those countries where they have already been de­ ployed. They are of the opinion that the strengthening of general security and, at the same time, an expansion of international co-operation in the peaceful use of nuclear energy would be furthered by the elab­ oration of measures which would ensure the safe development of nuclear power engineering and prohibit attacks by any means what­ ever on peaceful nuclear installations. In view of the steady improvement and growing power of con­ ventional weapons, new efforts must be made to reduce substan­ tially the present level of conventional weapons and armed forces, both on a global scale and in individual regions, and negotiations to that end must be conducted. It would also be expedient to resume talks on the limitation of sales and deliveries of conventional weapons. Being aware o"rthe increasing role of navies, the participants in the meeting call for the opening of talks on the limitation of naval activities, on the limitation and reduction of naval equipment and on the extension of confidence-building measures to the seas and oceans. They favour the withdrawal of nuclear-armed vessels from the Mediterranean Sea and the non-deployment of nuclear weapons in the territory of Mediterranean non-nuclear countries. The participants in the meeting also confirm their unalterable stand in favour of new efforts on an international scale aimed at the dismantling of foreign military bases and the withdrawal of troops from foreign territories.
