MOSCOW. Nov 21 (Interfax) - Washington hopes to continue cooperation with Russia over non-proliferation issues, says Rose Gottemoeller, the United States Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and international Security.

Speaking at a non-proliferation conference in Moscow on Friday, she said she hopes the U.S. and Russia will be able to cooperate and hold the NPT (Non-Proliferation Treaty) Review Conference. She said she is planning to do whatever is possible to make it a successful conference because a failure in this situation is unacceptable.
