On the sidelines of the summit, King Abdullah is scheduled to meet with several political leaders, including Japanese Prime Minister Shinzō Abe and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte.

The King has taken part in the three nuclear security summits held in Washington in 2010, Seoul in 2012 and in The Hague in 2014.

During the 2012 and 2014 nuclear security summits, the Kingdom presented a Statement of Activity and Cooperation to Counter Nuclear Smuggling, signed by as many as 20 countries. In support of the commitments outlined in that statement, Jordan has over the past two years hosted two multilateral counter-nuclear smuggling workshops.

His Royal Highness Prince Feisal bin Al Hussein was sworn in as Regent.
