VCDNP's Work Featured in Vienna's Metropole Magazine

Metropole Magazine has published an article with the tagline "How an international NGO in Vienna provides a safe space for diplomacy on nuclear issues," which describes the VCDNP's work in gathering diplomats and other international stakeholders to hold important meetings in a closed setting.

'“Diplomacy,” said Winston Churchill, “is the art of telling plain truths without giving offense.” Britain’s wartime prime minister understood better than most how diplomats frequently needed to avoid straight talk in order to maintain good relations. This is especially true when diplomacy and dialogue are conducted in the public arena.

However, in order to be effective, the most important diplomacy often needs to be carried out behind closed doors, where issues can be discussed more openly and opinions changed without losing face. Which brings us to the sensitive and complex terrain of nuclear weapons and Vienna Center for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation (VCDNP)."

Metropole is an English-language publication, written for international residents of the Vienna community. Read the full article here, written by Stephanie Liechtenstein.
