US to host March nuclear security summit: White House

The summit's key goals will be securing vulnerable stockpiles of nuclear materials from theft and boosting global cooperation to combat the trafficking of atomic materials and know-how, said Lippert.
"We think this is another important piece of the non-proliferation agenda that the president has put forward," the US official said, adding that the gathering aimed to broaden Washington's "robust" bilateral arrangements on that front to a more multi-nation approach.
