Ambassador Hossam Zaki, Assistant Secretary-General of the League
of Arab States, urged the international community to support Arab
efforts to establish a zone free of nuclear weapons and other weapons of
mass destruction in the Middle East. He also called for backing the
annual UN conference on this matter, held every November since 2019.
This appeal came during Ambassador Zaki's intervention at the opening
session of the third edition of the Arab Forum on Arms Control,
Disarmament, and Non-Proliferation, held on 4 June in Doha. The forum
was organised by the General Secretariat of the League of Arab States in
collaboration with Qatar's National Committee for the Prohibition of
Arms, with Ambassador Zaki participating as a keynote speaker.
