Seminar on Chemical Weapons Convention held in Tajikistan

20:39 30/08/2005
DUSHANBE, August 30 (RIA Novosti, Lidia Isamova) - A seminar on the practical application of the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling, and Use of Chemical Weapons and their Destruction (CCW) in Central Asia is being held in the capital of Tajikistan.

The goal of the seminar is to introduce the main provisions of the convention to local authorities, including those from Tajikistan and Afghanistan, and to teach them the methods of preventing the proliferation of chemical weapons and their components.

"Tajikistan has never had or produced chemical weapons, although local enterprises produce components that could be used to manufacture them," Dzhabbor Rasulov, Tajik deputy industry minister, said Tuesday.

The seminar, attended by experts and officials from the industry ministries of various Central Asian countries, will conclude August 31.
