The six-day training sought to build the diplomats’ understanding of and skills for nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation negotiations. It covered topics ranging from understanding the humanitarian impact of nuclear weapons and cyberthreats to new technologies and their implications for nuclear disarmament.
In his role at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mohd Ishrin makes policy recommendations on multilateral and domestic issues related to cybercrime security and nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation.
Working for nuclear disarmament can be challenging, admits Mohd Ishrin. In international negotiations, diplomats must work with other countries and persuade them to accept a particular position on nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation – a matter of national security.
Mohd Ishrin says he gained invaluable insights in the UNITAR training that will help him advance Malaysia’s interest in achieving regional and global peace. He appreciated learning from academics, practitioners and diplomats and tapping into the experience of experts advocating for nuclear disarmament.
I can apply and formulate policy recommendations or revise the existing policy of our national position concerning nuclear disarmament.
