U.S.-Russian Arms Control in the 1990s: Experiences and Lessons Learned A Conversation with Ambassador Georgiy Mamedov Tuesday, November 24, 2009, 3:00 pm — 4:30 pm The Brookings Institution, Saul/Zilkha Rooms, 1775 Massachusetts Ave, NW, Washington, DC The issue of strategic nuclear arms reductions now tops the U.S.-Russia agenda, particularly as the countries strive to conclude a new nuclear arms agreement to replace the Strategic Arms Reductions Treaty, which expires on December 5. For much of the 1990s, nuclear arms reductions and missile defense were major issues for the bilateral agenda between Washington and Moscow. During that period, Ambassador of the Russian Federation to Canada—then Deputy Foreign Minister—Georgiy Mamedov served as Russia’s point-man for negotiations with the United States on arms control questions On November 24, the Center on the United States and Europe at Brookings will host Ambassador Mamedov for a conversation on the experiences and lessons learned from U.S.-Russian arms control efforts in the 1990s. Following his presentation, Brookings President Strobe Talbott, who as ambassador-at-large for the New Independent States and deputy secretary of state was Ambassador Mamedov’s U.S. counterpart, will share his perspectives. Brookings Senior Fellow Steven Pifer will moderate the discussion. After the program, Ambassador Mamedov will take audience questions.
