Powers Not Yet Expected to Sign SE Asia Nuke-Free Zone Protocol

Five nuclear powers are not expected at an upcoming regional meeting to formally approve the protocol for the Southeast Asia Nuclear Weapon-Free Zone Treaty, the Xinhua News Agency reported on Thursday.
The 21st summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations is due to begin on Sunday in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
"As the signing day approaches, Russia, France and the United Kingdom have expressed their reservations, so we postpone the signing to later date in order to continue further negotiations," Cambodian Foreign Minister Hor Namhong told reporters.http://www.nti.org/gsn/article/powers-not-expected-sign-se-asia-nuke-free-zone-protocol/
