To advance such efforts, it may be necessary for mid-level powers such as Japan, Canada, Australia, and Germany to strengthen ties with other like-minded mid-level countries that possess nuclear weapons and hold permanent seats on the UN Security Council, such as the United Kingdom and France, or with smaller nuclear powers without permanent Security Council seats, such as India.
为了推进这些努力，日本、加拿大、澳大利亚以及德国这样的中等强国可能有必要加强与其他志同道合、拥有核武器并且是联合国安理会常任理事国的中等强国例如英法两国，或者较小的非常任理事国例如印度的联系。
