Based on that, Syria renews its support for starting negotiations in the Conference on Disarmament on a draft agreement to prevent chemical and biological terrorism based on the text proposed by Russia.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates pointed out that in parallel with the dangers of terrorism, the Israeli occupation entity continues to destabilize the region and threaten international peace and security through its insistence on perpetuating its occupation of Arab lands and its persistence in carrying out acts of aggression and repeated attacks on Syrian lands and in violation of Security Council resolutions, including Resolution 350 of 1974 on The disengagement affirmed that these Israeli attacks would not remain unanswered and that Israel's practice of state terrorism and acts of aggression and its occupation of Arab lands in Palestine and the Golan would not have continued without international connivance and American protection from accountability for its continued violations of the rules of international law and the Charter of the United Nations and its disregard for Security Council resolutions.

Al-Miqdad stressed that the occupation entity's continued modernization and expansion of its arsenal of conventional and non-conventional weapons and the possession and development of weapons of mass destruction programs and nuclear military capabilities away from any international oversight and with the unconditional support of the United States and its European allies, and providing the entity with the latest types of weapons and advanced military technologies constitute a source of threat Permanent and serious for international peace and security in the Middle East.

Al-Miqdad said: As we look forward to the convening of the Tenth Conference to Review the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty on its new date, Syria hopes that the next conference will provide a serious opportunity for consensus and to move forward in implementing the commitments and commitments set forth in the Convention, the final documents and decisions of the NPT review conferences, particularly with regard to the establishment of a weapons-free zone. Nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East Syria reiterated that the implementation of the Middle East resolution that was adopted as part of the deal of the indefinite extension of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 1995 remains valid until its implementation.

Al-Miqdad expressed Syria's welcome of the progress made towards reaching an agreement in the Vienna talks on returning to the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action agreement with Iran, and its support for Tehran's position that the success of the talks depends on the United States and its European allies taking the necessary steps on the outstanding points and on providing guarantees to lift the unilateral coercive measures. That is inconsistent with the agreement and the commitment not to re-impose it on the Iranian people as an essential component of the steps to re-implement the JCPOA.
