Japan and Libya to Hold Nonproliferation Talks

Japanese and Libyan officials are expected to meet by the end of this month to discuss nonproliferation, the Daily Yomiuri reported today (see GSN, March 12).

The talks, which would be the first held by Japan and Libya, are expected to include discussions on measures to prevent nuclear technology from being transferred to countries such as North Korea, Japanese officials said. Japan would also be briefed on Libya’s progress in destroying its WMD programs, and would seek information on the international nuclear network, officials said (Daily Yomiuri, June 17).
