MOSCOW, May 4 (RIA Novosti) - Moscow believes there is a pressing need to hold an international conference on a nuclear-free zone in the Middle East before the end of the current year, the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Saturday.
A meeting of the Preparatory Committee for Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review was held in Geneva from April 22 through May 3, attended by representatives of 106 signatory states and over 60 NGOs.
The meeting expressed its consensus-based position that all challenges to the nonproliferation regime should be resolved solely on the basis of NPT provisions, the ministry said in a statement posted on its website.
One key priority in that context is the holding of a conference on the creation of a zone free from nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East, it continued.
