Leaders from 47 countries, including the hosting United States, and representatives from the United Nations, the European Union and the International Atomic Energy Agency gathered in Washington for the two-day meeting to discuss ways to prevent nuclear materials from falling into the hands of terrorists and "non-state actors."

The communique iterates the participating countries' commitment to the goal of securing nuclear materials in four years, while the work plan lines out specific steps as to how the broad goals and commitments of the communique will be implemented.
