Syria's permanent representative to the United Nations office and other international organizations in Vienna, Ambassador Dr. Hassan Khaddour, affirmed that Syria has not been late in fulfilling its legal obligations towards the International Atomic Energy Agency under the Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement and the Non-Proliferation Treaty, and has fulfilled all requests on time. that.

In a statement read out during the work of the IAEA Board of Governors, Ambassador Khaddour stressed that the path of confusion followed by well-known parties around Syria aims to exert more pressure on Syria, which was able to fulfill all the international obligations required of it under the Safeguards Agreement despite all the difficult circumstances that have passed. As a result of the aggressive and failed policies of those well-known parties.

In his statement, Ambassador Khaddour welcomed the follow-up to the serious discussion between Iran and the agency, which constitutes a qualitative step to resolve outstanding issues and a continuation of joint cooperation between the two sides in accordance with the agreed procedures in a manner that facilitates and facilitates the full and effective implementation of the commitments of the two parties, expressing his aspiration for the agency to continue carrying out the tasks entrusted to it with full impartiality, independence, objectivity and professionalism. Falling victim to external pressures aimed at implementing political agendas targeting sovereign countries.

Ambassador Khaddour reiterated that the United States' withdrawal from the JCPOA unilaterally and without any legitimate justifications constituted a flagrant violation of the consensus Security Council Resolution No. In particular, the lifting of sanctions imposed on Iran and the economic gains arising from this plan.

On the other hand, Ambassador Khaddour stressed that the fact that the Israeli occupation entity, with its nuclear capabilities, remains outside the framework of the Non-Proliferation Treaty and the comprehensive safeguards agreement with the Atomic Energy Agency represents a grave danger to the non-proliferation regime, pointing out that Israel's rejection of all initiatives calling for the establishment of a zone free of nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons in the Middle East make them a threat to security and stability in the entire region, and its continued refusal to subject all its nuclear facilities to Agency safeguards makes it a threat to regional and international peace and security. In light of all of this, it is not qualified to talk about cases of non-compliance with the Treaty.
