JOHN HALLAM REPORT ON ACTIVITIES TO PND

The single activity that has dominated everything has been the highly
successful visit of Colonel Valery Yarynich to Australia. However
this hasn't been by any means the only important thing to take place,
and we need to go back to May 2012, when for the first two weeks of
that month, the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty Preparatory Committee
(NPT Prepcom) met in Vienna, Austria, and I was there and presented a
panel with Ambassador Alfredo Labbe of Chile, and Colonel Valery
Yarynich.
