Moscow joins coalition of 70 nations to "protect [global] health and ensure sustainable development"

I'm a bit late to this one. I'm sure you understand why.

On June 22-23, 2023, Sochi (that's in Russia for my fellow Americans) hosted the fourth international conference "Global Biosecurity Challenges: Problems and Solutions", one of several global initiatives organized around the UN's Biological Weapons Convention (BWC).

The summit was headed by Russia's Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Well-Being (Rospotrebnadzor), with support from Russia's Foreign Ministry.
