TEHRAN (Iran News) – Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is scheduled to visit Russia to attend 2019 Moscow Nonproliferation Conference titled Nuclear Energy, Disarmament and Nonproliferation.
Araghchi is supposed to elaborate on the latest situation of Iran Nuclear Deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
The event will be held in the presence of 40 countries and 250 international figures in Moscow on November 7-9.
According to the official website of the conference, “The Moscow Nonproliferation Conference (Nuclear Energy, Disarmament, Nonproliferation) is one of the world’s largest forums on nuclear issues.”
“Since its inception in 2010, the MNC has gained prominence as a leading platform where officials, diplomats and members of the expert community from all stakeholder countries can engage in a constructive dialogue, present their views and findings, and share ideas during plenary sessions and on the sidelines of the event.”
“The 2019 MNC will host up to 250 participants from over 40 countries, as well as from key international organizations in the field (CTBTO, IAEA, UNODA).”
The Second Nuclear Nonproliferation Conference sponsored by the Nuclear Threat Initiative and the Russian Academy of Sciences was held in Moscow, March 18-20, 2009. Siegfried Hecker and David Holloway, with Nikolay P. Lavrov of the Russian Academy of Sciences, co-chaired the conference, which was held to discuss cooperation regarding nuclear nonproliferation, arms control, and disarmament. According to the organizers, the nonproliferation regime is under great strain and could take another step backward when START (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty) expires in December 2009. Despite longstanding grievances on both sides, organizers said the conference environment reflected “cautious optimism” and that the two former superpowers may have reached a turning point in bilateral relations.
