U.S. Embassy Tbilisi Deputy Chief of Mission Bridget Brink will deliver opening remarks at a two-day conference on countering nuclear smuggling in Georgia today at the Tbilisi Marriott.
The focus of the conference, organized by the U.S. Department of State’s Office of Weapons of Mass Destruction Terrorism, is to review Georgia’s progress in implementing the “Joint Document of Georgian and U.S. Delegations on Georgia’s Priority Needs to Improve Its Capabilities to Combat Nuclear Smuggling”, to coordinate U.S. and international assistance, and to seek additional funding for several priority assistance projects.
The United States and Georgia have been cooperating under the framework of the Joint Document since 2007, and the U.S. Government looks forward to expanding this cooperation through the conference this week.
