In a broader appeal for Middle East nuclear disarmament, the ministers reiterated the importance of “ridding the region of nuclear weapons and all other weapons of mass destruction,” and called for universal commitment to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT).

The statement stressed that diplomacy, dialogue, and the principle of good neighborliness are “the only viable way” to resolve crises in the region, affirming that “the current crisis cannot be resolved through military means.”
