Together with his UN Representatives John Girgis and Deborah Fikes and with his wife Prof. Dr. Christine Schirrmacher, specialist on religious extremism, the Secretary General of the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA) met Daryl G. Kimball, CEO of the Arms Control Association (ACA) in Washington, receiving reports on the stage of the different global weapon treaties and proposals what WEA could do together with the Vatican and the World Council of Churches to get Russia and USA back on the table.
