It is of utmost importance for the global community to beef up efforts for disarmament as a step to buttress international security and peace, said a Kuwaiti diplomat here late Wednesday.
Delivering his country's speech at the meeting for the disarmament and global security committee, an offshoot of the 69th UN General Assembly, Second Secretary at the State of Kuwait Permanent Mission to the UN, Abdulaziz Al-Ajmi, said that Kuwait was very concerned over the slow processing of disarmament measures, noting the UN's Conference of Disarmament should work harder to prevent arms from spreading.
In this regard, he said that Kuwait, out of its global commitment for an arms-free world, was a signatory of all disarmament agreements, including the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) and Biological Weapons Convention (BWC), KUNA reported.
The Conference on Disarmament is a forum established by the international community to negotiate multilateral arms control and disarmament agreements.
Established in 1979, it was the forum used by its member states, currently numbering 65, to negotiate the Biological Weapons Convention and the Chemical Weapons Convention.
