Shukri: It is not acceptable to continue the imbalance in the nuclear field between the Arabs and Is

[The SC]

Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shukri stressed that it is not acceptable to continue the imbalance in the nuclear commitments between the Arab countries on the one hand and Israel on the other.

This came in a speech delivered by Minister Sameh Shukri on Monday evening during the first session of the ministerial meeting of the Arab-Japanese political dialogue held at the headquarters of the General Secretariat of the Arab League.

Shukri said that the Arab-Japanese Economic Forum, which started in December 2009, launched an important stage in the joint Arab-Japanese work process, which established an understanding framework between the Arabs and Japan in the economic, trade and development fields. And the localization of technology in the Arab world. As a result of the depth and importance of the Arab-Japanese relations, it was necessary to develop that relationship and promote it to higher levels to include political coordination and exchange of views on regional and international issues of common interest.

its too late now, they wont be allowed to make their own nuclear weapons

 

[Yaseen1]

very bold stance.Pakistan nukes are for whole Muslims.we should increase our nukes to several thousand so that they become enough to defend whole Muslims and supply several hundred to turkey

Iraq and Libya were a few years away from becoming nuclear powers. We (as in Arabs) could have developed nuclear weapons just right Pakistan or at the same time if not for our geographic location (close to Europe), outside meddling and wrong actions (in this regard) of past leaders.

Of course Israel (USrael) would have done everything in their power to prevent such a thing (as they did jointly with the US).

If there was a real push for such a project among Arab leaders it could be accomplished jointly.

There is already a push for civilian nuclear power in most major Arab countries.

Can I ask what the Arab Atomic Energy Agency is doing exactly of late?

http://www.aaea.org.tn

Should they not be at the forefront of such a project?

Money is not lacking, resources (uranium) neither nor talent.

FFS, North Korea of all countries has achieved it and nobody is going to tell me that they are somehow lightyears ahead technologically. What is lacking here is political will and nothing more. The rest could be accomplished with hard work. Nuclear engineers are present in many Arab countries, KSA included. Many more will arrive due to the promising nuclear energy (civilian) projects that countries such as KSA, Iraq, Egypt, UAE and others are working on while we speak or will work on.

Israel should not be allowed to be the sole nuclear state in the region. A nuclear armed Middle East might actually become safer and prevent major wars from erupting.

This disparity won't go on forever as it is contrary to the ground realities (geographic size, population size, economic size, military power, history etc.). Nuclear technology is old technology anyway.

Think about it, should the Arab League jointly agree (all member states) to pursue nuclear weapons as a consequence of Israel's nuclear weapons, outside invasions/interference (Iraq and Libya) and as a defense mechanism, what would USrael and the West (US) really do? Would they go to war against the entire Arab world? Bomb and nuke all military establishments, universities, try to assassinate all nuclear scientists etc.? FFS they struggle to deal with Iran with all due respect to them! Let alone the madman's starving North Korean fiefdom.

Shukri's statement is a correct one but there must be actions behind those words otherwise it is empty air, I am afraid. At least if the goal is to have nuclear weapons.

Turkey can take care of itself,As for the rest of the muslim world when have they ever backed us up?

KSA has been a quite good ally of Pakistan and vice versa, I would claim.

keep dreaming ...

No dreaming, Iranian. What I described were the facts. Most educated/knowledgeable people know about this. You might read up on the quite significant role that Libya played in Pakistan becoming the first Muslim nuclear state and to date the only one. Or about the Iraqi nuclear program.

You pathetic Ummah cretin. You and your ugly kind should stay away from anything that is not halal. And nukes are haram as far as you and your ilk are concerned.

Yes KSA has helped us several times,Jordan also did in the past.

Iraq, Libya and Syria.. every Arab country that was close to making nuclear reactors without western knowledge were destroyed, _Iraq was making it with France, but then came the accusation from the west_, regardless if they were for civilian or military use, just western suspicions and lies were enough!

Shukri's statement is about forcing Usrael to sign the NPT like all the Arab states did..Most Arab nations are building civilian nuclear reactors to generate electricity.. under the watch of the UN nuclear agencies..and most of them are US allies, eventhough they ask Russia, China or South Korea to build them, since the US does not export reactors..

North Korea is a thorn in the west's side, because like most of the Arab states it does not recognize Israel.. and that is a big deal for the west, mostly now, with ICBMs and Hydrogen bombs...

Yes, I forgot to add Syria although I don't think that they were as far in the process to acquire nuclear weapons as the other two. My memory might be inaccurate on this front though.

We should not have signed the NPT at all as soon as it became clear that USrael had no intention to do so.

I think it is about high time for an joint Arab nuclear project.

@Arabi @Gomig-21 @Bubblegum Crisis etc. do you have any idea about what the Arab Atomic Energy Agency is doing currently and if they have such plans?

 

[jamal18]

Turkey can take care of itself,As for the rest of the muslim world when have they ever backed us up?

Turkey is helping us now with defense projects.
The Saudis and the gulf states have given Pakistan massive financial aid in many ways over the years.
Jordan is alleged to have given us their f-104's during the '65 war.
The Indians allege that Libya loaned Pakistan its mirage 3 aircraft during the '71 war.
In the '65 war, Asghar Khan flew to Iran to ask for help. The shah wrote a note in front of him to his military, that Pakistan should be given weapons until 'Iranian stocks are zero'.
Indonesia gave us, I believe, patrol boats for the '65 war. Asghar Khan was shaken when the Indonesian President looked at a map and said ' perhaps we should attack a few Indian Islands?' In his book, Asghar Khan was overwhelmed by both Indonesian and Iranian generosity. This was at a time when Indonesia was facing a large British fleet off its shores.

very bold stance.Pakistan nukes are for whole Muslims.we should increase our nukes to several thousand so that they become enough to defend whole Muslims and supply several hundred to turkey

I think you are factually incorrect. Pakistani nukes are a national asset, as they were paid for by the Pakistani taxpayer.
As for passing around several hundred nukes here and there, I think you are totally detached from reality.

It has always amazed me how a poor, starving country like Pakistan could withstand US opposition, while the rich and powerful Arab countries caved in and signed the NPT.

Bro, poverty has little to do with such projects. Look at North Korea. It's about political will and motivation, in this case India in Pakistan's case.

Pakistan might have been economically poor but rich on other fronts (large population, solid military sector due to the historical legacy of Pakistan etc.)

I don't know that periods political history in detail (before my time on this earth) but there must have been reasons for such actions. If I am not wrong, Iran and all other regional countries, have signed the NPT as well.

I honestly don't know, but my guess is that there isn't anything along the lines of creating a joint nuclear project. The focus has always been on putting pressure on Israel.

The focus should be more on civil nuclear programs which has begun in Egypt. Before we know it, half a dozen Arab countries will be producing nuclear energy.

Honestly I believe that there should be.

Yes, UAE ( @Khafee ) has almost finished building its first nuclear reactor (the first one in the Arab world) and countries like KSA, Egypt and others have invested and will invest a lot of money in nuclear energy which is very much a positive thing along with renewable energy.

I believe that we as Arabs have a right to arm ourselves with nuclear weapons as long as Israel has nuclear weapons. I could live with sanctions if needed be. They won't ever be fully effective anyway. Of course this requires brave leaderships and a coordinated and joint project which I am not sure there is a political will for.
