Nuclear disarmament, NAM priority

Cuba: The Non-Aligned Movement will start a ministerial meeting on Monday in Havana, with global disarmament as focal point, especially the elimination of nuclear arsenals.

Bound to its founding objectives, the forum actively defends compliance with treaties, as that of Tatlelolco, which stop proliferation of chemical and nuclear weapons. That mission will be assessed by representatives of 120 countries, including members and observers, in a meeting until Saturday in this capital to prepare the 15th NAM Summit to be held in Egypt.

Cuban Vice-Foreign Minister Abelardo Moreno asserted in a recent press conference that the NAM has maintained its inflexible stance, regarding full achievement of disarmament and world peace.

The also ambassador to the United Nations (UN) highlighted that Cuba achieved, during its first NAM temporary chairmanship, activation in The Hague of the organization to ban chemical weapons. Havana, Prensa Latina
