SIPRI is engaging with the High-Level Political Forum (HLPF) at the United Nations (9 July–18 July) in several ways.

The Swedish Riksdag, in cooperation with SIPRI, hosted an address by HE Moon Jae-in, President of the Republic of Korea, on the occasion of his state visit to Sweden.

President Moon highlighted the need to build trust between both sides on the Korean peninsula and with the international community—particularly trust in dialogue for supporting peace.

On 7 June, Kolja Brockmann, Researcher in the SIPRI Dual-use and Arms Trade Control Programme, briefed the annual plenary meeting of the Australia Group—a major multilateral export control regime made up of 42 states and the European Union—on the impact of additive manufacturing on  biological weapons proliferation and export controls.
