VN to join nuclear security summit

The Nuclear Security Summit 2016 will continue to provide a forum for leaders to engage with each other and reinforce their commitment at the highest level to securing nuclear materials.

The first Nuclear Security Summit was held in Washington D.C. in 2010, and was followed by additional Summits in Seoul in 2012 and The Hague in 2014.  These Summits have achieved tangible improvements in the security of nuclear materials and stronger international institutions that support nuclear security.
