NUCLEAR TERRORISM PLENARY IN THE HAGUE
1. On January 13, PolOff accompanied Arjen van den Berg,
Political Counselor at the Dutch Embassy in Beijing, and
Andrey Chernyshov, Second Secretary at the Russian Embassy in
Beijing, in a meeting with MFA Arms Control and Disarmament
Department Missile Division Deputy Director Wang Daxue. Van
den Berg presented a diplomatic note to Wang, inviting China
to send participants to the Fifth Plenary Meeting of the
Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism (GICNT) at The
Hague June 16-17. Van den Berg emphasized that the meeting
would be jointly chaired by the United States and Russia and
that the Dutch delegation would be led jointly by the Dutch
Foreign and Justice Ministries.
2. Wang Daxue thanked van den Berg for the invitation and
said he would share it with his superiors. Unofficially,
Wang noted that China was a member of the GICNT, had attended
each previous plenary meeting and would, in all likelihood,
attend the June meeting in The Hague. Wang assured van den
Berg that China supports non-proliferation goals and has
worked closely multilaterally and bilaterally to meet common
objectives. He made special mention of successful
non-proliferation workshops China conducted with the United
States in 2007. Wang promised to relay a formal response to
the invitation to the Dutch Embassy at an appropriate time.
