During the NPTREC, the United States and Russia developed a concerted approach aimed at reaching the indefinite extension of the NPT. They made coordinated efforts to bring as many NNWS as possible to their side through persuasion, pressure and, at times, even blackmail. Although Russia had less leverage and capacity to influence NNWS’ decision with regards to the NPT extension, it still managed to effectively convince former Soviet republics, Iran, and a few other NPT state parties to support the indefinite option.

In May 1995, the Review and Extension Conference had the dual task of reviewing the NPT and deciding upon its extension. On the occasion of the 30^th anniversary of indefinite extension of the NPT, we would like to recall the chapter written by Ms. Daria Selezneva, IMEMO Junior Research Fellow, PIR Alumni Community member, entitled “Russian-American Cooperation on NPT Extension: Lessons Learned”, which was first published in PIR Center’s collective monograph “Russia-U.S. Nuclear Nonproliferation Dialogue: Lessons Learned and Road Ahead” (2021).
