Ambassador Debora Lepre met today with Executive Secretary Robert Floyd to present her credentials as Permanent Representative of Italy to the Preparatory Commission of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organisation.
The meeting allowed for an exchange of views on the key role of the CTBTO in the nuclear non-proliferation system against the background of the current systemic challenges, underlining the progress made towards the universalisation of the Treaty and the priority of its entry into force. The focus was also on the scientific and technological applications of the international control system, to which Italy contributes directly with its expertise and facilities, among other things by hosting a seismic station and a radionuclide laboratory.
