Frank Rose, U.S. assistant secretary of state for arms control, verification and compliance, will travel to Japan, South Korea, the United Arab Emirates, and Israel starting this week for a series of arms control and international security events, the State Department said Friday.
From Oct. 25-29, Rose will visit with his counterparts in Tokyo and Seoul, including with U.S. Forces Korea, to discuss arms control, international security, and strategic stability.
Then on Nov. 1-3 Rose will lead the U.S. delegation to the fourth plenary meeting of the International Partnership for Nuclear Disarmament Verification, an effort established in 2014 between the State Department and the non-governmental Nuclear Threat Initiative to build global capacity on nuclear disarmament verification by supporting technical initiatives.
Rose will then from Nov. 5-7 visit Tel Aviv and Jerusalem for meetings with Israeli officials on international security and arms control issues, the State Department said.
