CSCAP Fourth Meeting of the Export Control Experts Group

Under Pacific Forum/USCSCAP leadership, the WMD Study Group has formed an Export Controls Experts Group (XCXG) to assess national export control programs, identify vulnerabilities and shortcomings, and develop recommendations for improving both individual export control capacity and mutual cooperation. The XCXG has met three times: in Tokyo in 2005 and 2007 and in Beijing in 2006. In 2007, the XCXG met back to back with a Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) conference focused on export control cooperation.
