India has called for an early conclusion of negotiations on the Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism to deal with the menace of terrorism.<br/><br/>Speaking at a Security Council debate on efforts to prevent proliferation of weapons of mass destruction by non-state actors, India's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Tanmaya Lal voiced deep concern over the possibility of collusion that leads to proliferation of weapons of mass destruction to terrorist networks and non-state actors.<br/><br/>He told the UN meeting that as a country with advanced<br/>nuclear technologies, India is fully conscious of the responsibilities that come with the possession of such technologies and the country remains fully committed to strengthening national and global non-proliferation efforts.<br/><br/>He said India also participates actively in the intersessional process on the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention that needs to be strengthened including through a legally-binding protocol in light of technology trends and the threat of bio-terrorism.<br/><br/>Mr. Lal said India's admission to Missile Technology Control Regime, MTCR, in June last year is recognition of its non-proliferation record and its ability to contribute to global non-proliferation efforts.
