Tbilisi is hosting the 4th International Forum for Regional Security, which is focusing this year on nuclear and radiological threat.

The US Ambassador to Georgia addressed the participants with a welcome speech.

“We are very pleased to be able to co-sponsor this very important Tbilisi Forum for Regional Security in Black Sea, which is focusing this year on nuclear and radiological threats in the Black Sea region, which, given what we’re hearing from Russia in terms of threats, is particularly important and very timely.

This brings together government agencies, and other stakeholders to discuss these very important issues and be prepared to respond in the event of a CBRN event.

This is an event that we co-sponsor with the Swedish Radiation Agency and the NGO for Civil Defense. So, this is a very important opportunity, the fourth annual conference, bringing together people from all over the world to focus on this very important issue in the Black Sea region”, - said Kelly Degnan.
