In a meeting with Russian Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs Sergey Ryabkov here at the Foreign Office, Fatemi called for a principle-based and non-discriminatory global regime on non-proliferation. Ryabkov is leading the Russian delegation for the 10th Meeting of Pakistan-Russian Consultative Group on Strategic Stability.
He underscored Pakistan’s contribution to global efforts for disarmament and non-proliferation as a mainstream and equal partner of the international community. The two sides had an exchange of views on the positive trajectory of Pakistan-Russia bilateral relations, regional and global security situation as well as broad issues in the field of disarmament and non-proliferation.
Pakistan-Russian Consultative Group on Strategic Stability was established in 2002. It provides a structured platform for exchange of views on issues related to arms control, non-proliferation and disarmament, as well as regional security.
