Russia Likely to Join PSI, Japanese Source Says

A Japanese government source said yesterday that Russia is expected to join the Proliferation Security Initiative — a U.S.-led international effort to block shipments of WMD-related cargo, the Daily Yomiuri reported (see GSN, April 26).

The 14 initiative members are considering whether to formally admit Moscow at a meeting scheduled for late May in Poland to mark the effort’s one-year anniversary, according to the source. Russia is likely to attend the two-day meeting, the Daily Yomiuri reported (Daily Yomiuri, April 30).
