AlHijjah 13, 1435, Oct 7, 2014, SPA -- The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has reiterated the importance of the implementation of Chemical Weapons Convention, on the basis of its policy to dispose of all weapons of mass destruction under strict and effective international control in accordance with the first paragraph of the Convention Preamble. This came in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's speech delivered, during the 77th session of the Executive Council of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, by the Saudi Ambassador to the Kingdom of the Netherlands and its permanent representative to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al-Shaghrud, which started its work today in The Hague. He said that the Kingdom's commitment to the Convention and its interest in its implementation at the national and international levels, is an extension of its policy aimed to contribute actively in the efforts to ban and prohibit all weapons of mass destruction, leading to make the Middle East free of these deadly weapons. He further said that the Kingdom has called upon the international community on several occasions to provide the support necessary to achieve this goal, seen by Saudi Arabia as a legitimate right of the region's peoples, especially that it is a major support of the region's security and stability. --More 21:25 LOCAL TIME 18:25 GMT تغريد
