WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – Russia believes that the convention it proposed against chemical and biological weapons would be timely and relevant amid evidence of terrorists using such arms, Russian Foreign Ministry’s Deputy Director of the Department for Nonproliferation and Arms Control Vladimir Leontyev told Sputnik.
In August, Russia presented an updated draft of its convention on the fight against biological and chemical terrorism to the UN Disarmament Conference in Geneva.
"We believe that this convention could be timely and relevant. Especially now when we see real cases of terrorist groups using chemical weapons," Leontyev said.
