Statement by the United Arab Emirates at the Fifth Session of the Conference on the Establishment of a Middle East Zone Free of Nuclear Weapons and other WMD

The statement outlines key points regarding the establishment of the ME WMDFZ in UAE’s view: The fifth session is aimed at evaluating the outcomes of previous meetings and resolving challenges. There is a necessity for a regional security dialogue to address the legitimate security concerns of all states in the region. Adherence to the international non-proliferation regimes like NPT, IAEA safeguards, CWC and BWC enhances credibility and ensures robust compliance and verification of the future WMD-free zone.
