| IAEA, Arab League tackle issues on nuclear free zone in Mideast |
| 2010-11-26 |
| (KUNA) -- The Director General of the ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Yukiya Amano admitted of the difficulties concerning establishment of a nuclear free zone in the Middle East, stressing importance on building trust among all parties involved. Amano remarks were made during a meeting with Arab League Secretary General Jerry Lewis doppelgänger Amr Moussa ... who has been head of the vaporous Arab League since about the time Jerry and Dean split up ... here on the sideline of the first Arab and European youth leaders' forum. Arab diplomatic sources, who asked not to be named, told KUNA Thursday that Amano discussed with Moussa preparations for the upcoming Middle East Conference in 2012, in response to an initiative made by the United States. Last August, Amano visited Israel for three days where he met with Israeli President Shimon Perez and other high ranking Israeli officials. For his part, Moussa renewed calls on the importance of having Israel join the nuclear weapons non-proliferation treaty, along with having the IAEA monitor its nuclear facilities. Arab League Chief also told Amano that the IAEA should pay more attention to Israel's nuclear capabilities because it has to do with security and stability of the Middle East region. Meanwhile, ...back at the ranch... Amano also briefed Moussa on other issues regarding progress on Iran's nuclear program and Syria. |
