Yemen is a peaceful country and rejects violence and all forms of terrorism, said First-Undersecretary for the Foreign Ministry, Mohi al-Deen al-Dhabi, the head of the National Committee for the Prohibition of Chemical, Biological and Toxic Weapons.
In the OPCW's (Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons) 14th session of the Conference of the States Parties held in The Hague, Netherlands, from November 30th to December 4th, al-Dhabi gave a speech in which he pointed out that Yemen is one of the countries that endorses a weapons-of-mass-destruction free Middle East, in addition to it being among the first countries to sign the Chemical Weapons Convention agreement in 1993.
Al-Dhabi noted that Yemen's efforts and intentions to make the Middle East a region free of weapons of mass destruction should be considered clear evidence that it is a peaceful country. At the same time, he called for the international community to gather together to make this goal a reality.
In The Hague al-Dhabi also held a separate meeting with the OPCW Director-General, Rogelio Pfirter, and the Director of the International Cooperation and Assistance Division of the OPCW, Kalimi Mworia, to discuss the bilateral cooperation between Yemen and the OCPW.
