Stimson Center presents a Conversation with Christopher Ford, Assistant Secretary of State, Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation. Wednesday, October 30, 2019 at 10:30 AM The Stimson Center 1211 Connecticut Ave. NW, 8th Flr Washington, DC, 20036 Dr. Christopher Ford will discuss the State Department’s efforts to encourage a “new normal” for nuclear security that establishes healthy patterns that can and will be sustained indefinitely. As the Nuclear Security Summits recede into the past, it is important that the world’s leaders not forget about nuclear security. Where the Summits played a valuable role in jump-starting attention to this challenge, the global community must now do the longer-term work of making sound nuclear security decisions into a day-to-day habit, rather than just a mere pledge.
