沙特阿拉伯强调努力实现消除核武器的目标——特别是在中东——的重要性。没有哪个区域能通过拥有大规模毁灭性武器来实现安全与稳定，我们只能通过各国之间的合作与协商来实现这些目标。我们必须力争发展和进步，避免竞相拥有这种武器，因为这只会毁灭人类。我国强调，不扩散核武器条约1995年审议和延期大会通过的关于建立中东无核武器区的决议在实现其目的和具体目标之前仍然适用。没有这项决议，阿拉伯国家就不会同意无限期延长《不扩散核武器条约》（《不扩散条约》）。
Saudi Arabia stresses the importance of the efforts to achieve the goal of eliminating nuclear weapons, especially in the Middle East. No region can realize security and stability through the possession of weapons of mass destruction, and we can achieve those goals only through cooperation and consultation among States. We must endeavour to work for development and progress and to avoid a race to possess such weapons, which can only be destructive to humankind. My country emphasizes that the resolution adopted at the 1995 Extension and Review Conference of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons regarding the establishment of a nuclear-weapon-free zone in the Middle East is still applicable until its targets and objectives are met. Without that resolution, the Arab countries would not have agreed to the indefinite extension of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT).
