Jordan partakes in meeting on nuclear disarmament

Jordan’s foreign minister Monday partook in the Stockholm Initiative meeting on nuclear disarmament in Madrid, Spain.

In the 4th ministerial meeting that is aimed to build on Jordan’s meeting in January, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Ayman Safadi said Jordan is keen on working with all stakeholders to realise a nuclear-weapons-free Middle East.

Safadi emphasized the need to address regional crises by focusing on development instead of building military arsenals.

Jordan joined the Stockholm Initiative in Sweden in 2019 and hosted the 3rd ministerial meeting of the Stockholm Initiative in Amman as part of its effort to denuclearise the Middle East and rid it of WMD.

The meeting that was co-chaired by Spain, Germany and Sweden saw the participation of Jordan, Spain, Sweden, Kazakhstan, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Finland, Canada, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Japan, S. Korea, Argentina, New Zealand and Norway.
