While in Vienna, the Under Secretary will also attend bilateral meetings, side events, and outreach engagements to emphasize the U.S. commitment to nuclear security and countering weapons of mass destruction terrorism, promote the implementation of nuclear security legal instruments, reiterate steadfast U.S. support for Ukraine, and emphasize the essential role of nuclear security in sustaining global use of peaceful nuclear energy.
