On March 30-31, 2000, nine ballistic missiles experts from Germany, Norway, Russia, and the
United States met to discuss the impact of the National Missile Defense program proposed by the
United States government on the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty,
and the relations of the United States with Canada, Russia, China, the European Union and the
world.
The experts examined the option of a multilateral approach to more effective ballistic missile
control, international monitoring, and early warning systems.
