TEHRAN, Jul. 01 (MNA) – The US and its allies are attempting to use the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) to impose their view of the world order and implement their own ambitions, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister said.

"The US and its allies are trying to use the NPT with the aim of imposing their view of the global world order and implementing their ambitions. We see how under the pretext of bolstering the regime of global non-proliferation, a strategy of putting pressure on countries with independent foreign policy is being implemented," Sergey Ryabkov noted in an interview with TASS on the 55th anniversary of the treaty’s signing.
