Countries Form Working Group on Russia Chemical Weapons Disposal Plant

Canada, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States have created a working group to coordinate the construction of a chemical weapons disposal plant near the Russian city of Shchuchye, Interfax reported last week (see GSN, Nov. 21).

The group is expected to meet four times a year, with the next meeting scheduled to be held in Moscow in late January. At that meeting, to be chaired by Russia, the four countries will discuss the state of funding for the Shchuchye facility and other construction and cooperation issues (Interfax/BBC Monitoring, Nov. 19).
