PIR Center Publishes The Presentation “Russia’s Vision For Arms Control, Disarmament And Non-Proliferation” By Sergey Ryabkov

December 27, 2019

“Russia’s vision of arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation issues remains in fact very conventional. It is pragmatic and realistic. We do not feel “constrained by traditional formats and diplomatic protocol”. On the contrary, we strongly believe that in many cases using proven formats and keeping to well-established diplomatic routine is the best way to address and resolve outstanding international issues of today and tomorrow. From our point of view, this “traditionalist” – or maybe “no-nonsense” – approach might be helpful for preventing turning serious and solution-oriented professional discussions aimed at achieving substantive results into road-shows with uncertain purpose, random participation and no clear mandate”, – Sergey Ryabkov, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation.
