Ukraine Joins Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism

The Government of Ukraine has announced its intention to become a partner nation of the 14-member Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism (Global Initiative).

At the February 12-13, 2007 meeting of the Global Initiative in Ankara, Turkey, partner nations emphasized the importance of broadening the initiative to include nations committed to combating nuclear terrorism, who endorse the Statement of Principles, and are willing to contribute to the activities of the Initiative. Ukraine is the first such nation to state its commitment to the goals of the Global Initiative and its intention to participate in its activities. All current and future partner nations are encouraged to include new partner nations in their activities, upon receipt of their written endorsement of the Statement of Principles by the U.S. and/or Russia.

Ukraine and all other current and future partner nations will meet again in Kazakhstan in June 2007 to review the progress of Global Initiative activities, to take specific steps to address gaps in implementation, and to welcome new partner nations whose endorsements have been received by the U.S. and/or Russia prior to the meeting.
