The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia stressed the importance of international efforts to achieve the goals of non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction which begins with realization of the necessity for the entire international community's adoption of what is already existing of treaties and legal and ethical frameworks aiming at reaching a world free of terrorism and nuclear weapons especially in the Middle East. This came in the kingdom's speech before the Security Council session on the discussion of non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction held today. The speech was delivered by Permanent Representative of the kingdom to the United Nations Ambassador Abdullah bin Yahya Almoalimi. The kingdom stressed that security and stability in any region of the world do not come through the possession of weapons of mass destruction but through cooperation and consultation among states and the pursuit of development and progress and avoidance of race to own these devastating weapons. It stated that in this regard Israel's possession of nuclear weapons is a major obstacle to achieving security and stability in the Middle East and therefore reiterates its call to make the Middle East region free of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction including a call on Israel to announce its nuclear capabilities and allow International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors to visit its nuclear sites and subject its nuclear programs to the supervision of the IAEA. Almoalimi pointed out that the entire world for more than 60 years has been greatly counting on the Charter of the United Nations and the UN Security Council as a binding instrument for the international community to ensure peace and security around the globe and gave it enough powers to carry out this crucial role and in this context comes today's session of the Council to work on activating the efforts and decisions of disarmament of the nuclear weapon and mass destruction weapons in all its forms. --More 10:52 LOCAL TIME 07:52 GMT تغريد
