syria reaffirms that israel's aggressive policies do not only threaten syria, but the whole region, especially given israel's nuclear arsenal. we have stressed time and again the need to compel israel to join the treaty on the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons and other treaties on weapons of mass destruction and to subject its nuclear installations to the oversight of the international atomic energy agency. syria stresses the right of state to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. we have always called for creating a wmd-free zone in the middle east. in fact, we have efficiently and responsibly eliminated all chemical weapons in syria in cooperation with the joint mission of the organizations for the prohibition of chemical weapons and the united nations. in this regard, syria reiterates its readiness to continue cooperation with the joint investigation mechanism, as well as to continue the syrian-relevant investigations in this regard. mr. president, we congratulate cuba and iran on reaching agreements to lift the embargo imposed on them, and we look forward to their implementation
