We reaffirm our commitment to our shared goals of nuclear
disarmament, nuclear non-proliferation and peaceful
use of nuclear energy. We also reaffirm that measures to
strengthen nuclear security will not hamper the rights
of States to develop and use nuclear energy for peaceful
purposes. We reaffirm the fundamental responsibility of
States, in accordance with their respective obligations, to
maintain at all times effective security of all nuclear and
other radioactive material, including nuclear materials
used in nuclear weapons, and nuclear facilities under their
control.
More work remains to be done to prevent non-state
actors from obtaining nuclear and other radioactive
materials, which could be used for malicious purposes.
We commit to fostering a peaceful and stable international
environment by reducing the threat of nuclear terrorism
and strengthening nuclear security.
Sustaining security improvements requires constant
vigilance at all levels, and we pledge that our countries will
continue to make nuclear security an enduring priority.
We, as leaders, are conscious of our responsibility. Actions
taken today can prevent tomorrow’s nuclear security
incidents. Where we choose to take such steps visibly, in
light of national conditions and while protecting sensitive
information, we contribute to strengthening and building
confidence in the effectiveness of our national nuclear
security regimes.
Countering nuclear and radiological terrorism demands
international cooperation, including sharing of information
in accordance with States’ national laws and procedures.
International cooperation can contribute to a more
inclusive, coordinated, sustainable, and robust global
nuclear security architecture for the common benefit and
security of all.
We reaffirm the essential responsibility and the central
role of the International Atomic Energy Agency in
strengthening the global nuclear security architecture and
in developing international guidance, and its leading role
in facilitating and coordinating nuclear security activities
among international organizations and initiatives and
supporting the efforts of States to fulfill their nuclear
security responsibilities. We welcome and support the
Agency in convening regular high-level international
conferences, such as the December 2016 international
conference on nuclear security including its Ministerial
segment, to maintain political momentum and continue to
raise awareness of nuclear security among all stakeholders.
We seek to maintain the international network of officials
and government experts who have supported the Summit
process and to incorporate the broader community of
States, as well as encourage the continued engagement of
relevant partners in nuclear industry and civil society.
In our continued collective determination to ensure
political momentum and to continuously strengthen
nuclear security at national, regional, and global levels,
we resolve to implement the attached Action Plans, in
support of the international organizations and initiatives
to which we respectively belong (the United Nations,
the International Atomic Energy Agency, INTERPOL,
the Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism, and
the Global Partnership Against the Spread of Weapons
and Materials of Mass Destruction), to be carried out on
a voluntary basis and consistent with national laws and
respective international obligations. These plans reflect the
political will of participating States.
The 2016 Summit marks the end of the Nuclear Security
Summit process in this format. We affirm that the
Communiqués from the 2010, 2012 and 2014 Summits
and the Work Plan of the 2010 Summit will continue to
guide our efforts as we endeavor to fully implement them.

The threat of nuclear and radiological terrorism remains one of the greatest challenges to international security, and the
threat is constantly evolving. We, the leaders, gathered in Washington, D.C. on the first day of April, 2016 on the occasion of
the fourth Nuclear Security Summit, are proud to observe that the Summits have since 2010 raised awareness of this threat
and driven many tangible, meaningful and lasting improvements in nuclear security. The Summits have also strengthened
the nuclear security architecture at national, regional and global levels, including through broadened ratification and
implementation of international legal instruments regarding nuclear security. We underline the importance of the Convention
on Physical Protection of Nuclear Material and its 2005 Amendment and the International Convention on the Suppression
of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism and will continue to work toward their universalization and full implementation. We welcome
the imminent entry into force of the 2005 Amendment to the Convention on Physical Protection of Nuclear Material and
Facilities and encourage further ratifications.
