Jeddah (IINA) – The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) expressed hope that the agreement that the six world powers (P5+1) have reached with Iran on its nuclear file, and that adherence to its provisions would be a pathway to the security and stability of the region.
OIC Secretary General Iyad Madani hoped that the momentum of the agreement would move forward as a new political paradigm in the region in place of strife and unrest that has become a major threat to the peace and security of the region and the world. He underlined OIC’s continued efforts to be a platform for such a paradigm.
Madani stressed the priority of addressing economic integration and fostering the necessary environment for sustainable development in the region, besides releasing the energies of its people towards construction and creation, away from sectarianism and division. He also emphasized the OIC keenness to strengthen the trade and economic activities between the member states in accordance with the agreements, economic programs and instruments adopted by the organization.
The Secretary General also reiterated the OIC's stand on the need to respect the inalienable right of developing countries to conduct research on nuclear energy, its production and use for peaceful purposes without discrimination and in accordance with the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT).
Madani called on the international community to pursue with the same diligence and zest that resulted in the agreement, to oblige Israel to join the NPT and put its nuclear arsenal under the full and comprehensive supervision of the United Nations, and towards the establishment of a nuclear-free zone in the Middle East for the sake of maintaining peace, security and stability in the region and the world.
