Iran Stresses Hard Efforts to Safeguard NPT
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi underscored Tehran's maximum efforts to safeguard the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and make sure of its full and correct implementation.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran, as a responsible member of the NPT, wants to preserve this Treaty and insists that all the paragraphs of the NPT that the members are committed to, should be implemented," Salehi told reporters on the sidelines of the second international conference on nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation in Tehran on Sunday.
He further noted the nuclear disarmament conference underway in Tehran, and underlined that Iran has embarked on holding the conference to remind the international community that disarmament is a serious component of nuclear issues.
Salehi described nuclear arms as inhuman weapons threatening the mankind, and said, "We have banned (development and use of) such weapons and supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution (Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei) stressed this issue in his message to the last year conference (on nuclear disarmament in Tehran)."
The first International conference on nuclear disarmament dubbed as ' Nuclear Energy for All, Nuclear Weapon for No One' was held in Tehran on April 18-19, 2010 with officials from different countries of the world in attendance.
During the two-day conference, world officials and politicians put their heads together to address issues and concerns in connection with nuclear disarmament.
Foreign ministers, representatives and nuclear experts from 60 world countries participated in the event to discuss challenges on nuclear disarmament, countries' commitment to nuclear dismantlement and disarmament and aftermaths of inaction in the destruction of the Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs).
Iran, as an NPT-signatory, has frequently called for the removal of all weapons of mass destruction from across the globe.
The UN General Assembly approved a draft resolution proposed by Iran on nuclear disarmament in October 2009 amid strong opposition by the US, Britain, France, Israel and a number of western countries.
The resolution ratified in the first committee of the UN General Assembly called on all nuclear countries to annihilate their nuclear weapons under the supervision of international bodies.
More than 100 countries, including non-nuclear members of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), voted for the resolution.
The resolution also urged Israel to join the NPT and allow the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to inspect its nuclear facilities.
