Closing Remarks by the President of the 1st Session of the Conference on the Establishment of a Middle East Zone Free of Nuclear Weapons and Other WMD

The closing remarks by the President of the 1st Session of the Conference highlights a conviction that the political will towards establishing a ME WMDFZ was abundant, with the remaining challenge to translate that will into concrete progress. The 1st Session is seen as a first important step on the right direction, with all organisational matters (except for the rules of procedure) agreed upon and a Political Declaration issued.
