Statement by Egypt at the Sixth Session of the Conference on the Establishment of a Middle East Zone Free of Nuclear Weapons and Other WMD

Egypt underscores the need for the 11th NPT RevCon to give the highest priority to the reaffirming past commitments on the 1995 resolution and including specific and concrete measures for the implementation of the resolution in the final document. The statement highlights Egypt’s areas of focus including highlighting the conference work at major international events, deepening engagement with academic and civil society organizations, strengthening dialogue with NWFZ, and exploring efforts to ensure participation of absent parties. The statement urges Israel to attend the conference and engage in good faith, noting that the conference does not exclude or target any state, but rather provides an opportunity for constructive regional dialogue.
