Speaking with reporters, he pointed out that the G8 summit in Sea Island would allow the priority tasks on strengthening the applicable non-proliferation policies to be solved.
"It is important to implement them in such a way that they may not be interpreted by other countries as separating lines between the industrial and developing states, but on the contrary, that they unite the countries towards a common goal of preventing WMD spread, which equally threatens everybody", stressed the diplomat.
According to Mr. Yakovenko, in the face of new challenges and threats of great importance is establishment of additional effective barriers on the way of WMD spread in order to prevent terrorists' getting in possession of such weapons or their components.
Besides, Russia is striving for making this summit contribute to upbuilding the joint counter-terrorism potential. According to Mr.Yakovenko, a number of draft documents have been developed, which will increase the G8 joint efforts efficiency in the counter-terrorism area.
"In particular, it will relate to specific measures to counter transport terrorism and bioterrorism", said Mr.Yakovenko.
"I would like to mention that Russia has been actively participating in the development of a document on safe and simplified international travels procedures, which along with facilitation of the formalities involved in crossing the G8 national borders provides for introduction of the new generation of anti-terrorism security measures", added the Foreign Ministry spokesman.
