Mr. Archie Hamilton

We keep all potential risks under continuous review. We also aim to prevent the proliferation of nuclear and chemical weapons by providing strong support for arms control agreements and associated regimes, such as the non-proliferation treaty, the missile technology control regime, the proposed chemical weapons convention and the Australia group.
