The concept of arms control from the Cold War is a thing of the past, says SIPRI expert

The concept of arms control from the Cold War is essentially a thing of the past. Most countries do not want to limit their capabilities due to the challenges, conflicts and threats they face,” Saalman said when asked to comment on the current situation in the field of arms control.

She noted that experts from different countries generally agree that at this stage, China, Russia and the United States seem more inclined to discuss strategic stability or engage in dialogue about mutual trust.

However, she expressed concern that delving too deeply into broad and abstract concepts would hinder the achievement of more practical and concrete measures to strengthen mutual trust.
