350 experts from around the world gathered for the 2nd Annual CBRNe World Conference and Exhibition

The OPCW Director-General, Ambassador Rogelio Pfirter, delivered the keynote address to the 2nd Annual CBRNe World Conference and Exhibition, a gathering of 350 experts from around the world that was held from 28-30 October 2009 in The Hague.

The Director-General’s address, “A Multi-Stakeholder Approach to Implementing the Chemical Weapons Convention”, provided an overview of OPCW activities in which the Organisation collaborates with a variety of stakeholders globally and at national level to ensure full implementation of the CWC.

An OPCW representative also spoke to the conference on the issue of safety and security at chemical plants.

As a supporting partner for the event, the OPCW hosted an “icebreaker” reception in the Technical Secretariat for some 175 conference delegates with funding provided by the conference organisers.
