Moscow Orientation – Day 2 – Win Friends and Influence People

We met again at the Center, and had a brief meeting to go over some of the logistics of the program over the next couple of weeks.

Then, we headed over to the Carnegie Foundation offices here in Moscow. We met with the director, and he spoke about the mission of the foundation and how it goes about its business.

Then we moved on to what he considered the important topics of the day in international circles. From their point of view, nuclear non-proliferation is paramount. He detailed some of their thinking, and what sort of seminars and symposia they’ve held to shed more light on the topic. We discussed Iran and North Korea, and the development of civilian and military nuclear programs in shady countries.
