Statement by Yemen during the opening session at the 1st session of the conference on the Establishment of a Middle East Zone Free of Nuclear Weapons and other WMD

The statement highlights four key points regarding the conference on establishing the ME WMDFZ: Yemen’s adherence to the principles and objectives of disarmament and non-proliferation of nuclear weapons; the conference is not a substitute but a complement to the 1995 Middle East resolution; the necessity of participation of all countries in the region, especially Israel; and the emphasis on the inalienable right of all states to the peaceful use of nuclear technology.
