在我们讨论区域裁军时，菲律宾强调无核武器区在加强全球核裁军和不扩散框架方面的作用。无核武器区彼此以及与核武器国家加强合作与协调将有助于证明这一重要作用。菲律宾充分意识到，1995年成果对于建立中东无核武器和大规模毁灭性武器区至关重要，因此，我们支持做出各种努力，保持和加强对话与接触。
As we discuss regional disarmament, the Philippines emphasizes the role of nuclear-weapon-free zones in reinforcing the global nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation framework. Stronger cooperation and coordination between and among them and with the nuclear-weapon States would help affirm that important role. Fully aware of the critical importance of the 1995 outcome as it pertains to the establishment of a Middle East zone free of nuclear weapons and WMDs, the Philippines supports efforts to sustain and enhance dialogue and engagement.
