ISLAMABAD Acknowledging its constructive role in making the region free of chemical weapons, Organisation of Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has re-elected Pakistan as its member of Executive Council for the next two-year term starting from May 2010. According to a press note issued from Foreign Office here on Thursday, Pakistan was awarded another term after the election that took place during the 14th Conference of States Parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) currently underway in The Hague. Pakistans re-election to the Executive Council by acclamation is a recognition of the positive role it is playing in achieving the objectives of the Chemical Weapons Convention, Foreign Office Spokesperson Abdul Basit said. The Convention was the only legal international instrument in the area of weapons of mass destruction that comprehensively and without discrimination prohibits an entire category of such weapons under conditions of international verification, he said. Pakistan has also been the coordinator of Asian Group in the OPCW since 2004.
