High Representative/Vice-President Federica Mogherini at the 2017 Carnegie Nuclear Policy Conference

On the 20 March 2017 the High Representative/Vice-President Federica Mogherini attended to the 2017 Carnegie Nuclear Policy Conference. During this conference, she made a speech.

In her speech, she reminded that the security of the European Union citizens can only be achieved through non-proliferation and disarmament. It is a matter of security. A new arms race is not the solution to any of the security challenges or threats we face. The only way forward is to invest together in a strong system of truly global rules.

She also insured that Europeans aim at multilateral disarmament. "We all want to guarantee non-proliferation through treaties and verification regimes" she said.
