The Netherlands has been asked to organise the third nuclear security summit, scheduled to take place in 2014, foreign affairs minister Uri Rosenthal has told MPs.

The first summit took place in Washington in 2010, the second will be held in Seoul in March. World leaders still have to confirm the invitation to the Dutch, the Volkskrant reported.
The summit is a forum to discuss the risk of nuclear terrorism and to take measures to counteract the smuggling of nuclear material.
The invitation to organise the third event is a ‘show of confidence and the result of the active role the Netherlands has played in the non-proliferation arena,’ Rosenthal said in his briefing.
