In partnership with Canada’s NATO Mission in Brussels and the International Security Bureau
of the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, the Canadian Centre for Foreign
Policy Development organised a one-day roundtable on NATO and Nuclear Weapons (August
24, 2000). The participants first, examined NATO policies and the commitments made at the
NTP Review Conference in New York (1999). Second, they assessed steps and strategies toward
a successful revision of NATO policy starting with Ministers in December (2000). Third, they
identified challenges to Canadian initiatives at NATO as well as possible partnerships. Chaired
by Steve Lee, participants included David Wright (Canadian Ambassador to NATO), Ted
Whiteside (Weapons of Mass Destruction Centre, NATO Headquarters), Senator Doug Roche
(Middle Power Initiative), Tom McDonald (BASIC U.K.), as well as other government officials
and non-government experts from Canada and abroad. The discussions benefited from the
participation of Canada’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Lloyd Axworthy, who hosted lunch for the
Canadian participants the previous day.
