Morocco has called on Tuesday for the creation of a zone free of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East, seeing it as fundamental to peace and security in the region. “Morocco is convinced that the creation of a zone free of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East is fundamental to peace and security in this region, and is most urgently needed as part of a regional approach to international peace and security,” the diplomat stressed. Concerning “non-proliferation”, the diplomat recalled that Morocco is party to all international instruments aimed at eliminating the Weapons of Mass Destruction. Furthermore, Morocco adheres and supports international initiatives aimed at strengthening dialogue and confidence with a view to achieving a world free of nuclear weapons. Building on this commitment, Farhane evoked Morocco, chairing the 64th Session of the General Conference of the IAEA in 2020, and contributing to the promotion of dialogue for reinforcing the international regime of nuclear security and safety.
