German Ambassador Friedrich Gröning,
Commissioner of the Federal Government for Disarmament and Arms
Control, will join us for a broad discussion of nonproliferation and
how it is perceived by the European Union Presidency. Germany has
taken up the mantle of European Union leadership at a difficult time.
In an era where the nuclear weapon states have abdicated leadership on
key disarmament and nonproliferation issues, Germany is one of the few
states able to fill that void. Ambassador Gröning will share with us
the state of current nonproliferation challenges and opportunities for
moving forward.
