"I think the speech of President Nazarbayev at the conference is the strategic report, which presents his views on the future. He touched upon the threats and challenges facing the world. Of course, the first among these threats is a nuclear threat. He also raised a very serious issue of trust between the states in order to reach the goal - a world free of nuclear weapons," Humam Hamoudi stated.

The Iraqi parliamentarian noted the need to distribute the report of President Nazarbayev so the people in different countries can study it. According to H.Hamoudi, parliamentarians from around the world will support the idea of ​​the President of Kazakhstan to establish the Anti-Nuclear Parliamentary Assembly, and generally anti-nuclear initiatives of N. Nazarbayev get broad support of the international community.

H.Hamoudi noted that Kazakhstan and Iraq could successfully cooperate, including in the area of nonproliferation of nuclear weapons. He also said that he would disseminate the ideas of Nursultan Nazarbayev among Arab parliamentarians.
