4th Prague Agenda Conference
This section is under construction.
Since President Obama’s 2009 announcement of his long-term nuclear disarmament vision in Prague and the following signing of the 2010 US-Russia START Treaty, Prague has established itself as a venue for discussion and taking stock of issues related to nuclear arms control, nuclear security, disarmament and non-proliferation.
The 4th Prague Agenda conference concentrated on the prospects and challenges related to the 2015 NPT Review Conference, as well as the regional aspects of the nuclear disarmament in the Middle East and Asia.
