Kubish made the announcement during a meeting with Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Mohammad Mehdi Akhoundzadeh in Tehran on Monday, ISNA news agency reported.
According to Wikipedia, Conference on Disarmament is a forum established by the international community to negotiate multilateral arms control and disarmament agreements. Established in 1979, it was the forum used by its member states, currently numbering 65, to negotiate the Biological Weapons Convention and the Chemical Weapons Convention.
While the conference is not formally a UN organization, it is linked to the UN through a personal representative of the UN secretary general; this representative serves as the secretary general of the conference.
