Reza Najafi addressed the meeting of the third session of the Preparatory Committee for the 2015 NPT Review Conference. "A nuclear weapons-free ME was proposed by Iran in 1974 and the General Assembly for a ME free zone emphasized on the proposed plan," he said.
“Annual approval of the plan proves its importance to the world and also NAM, Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and some of other regional and international organizations support the plan,” added Najafi.
He also held that without Israel joining the contract there would be no promising future for plan; “therefore, Israel should be forced to join the contract for a nuclear weapon free Middle East,” he asserted.
The Preparatory Committee (PrepCom) for the 2015 Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) will hold its third session from 28 April to 09 May 2014 at the United Nations Office in New York.
