The world leaders attending President Barack Obama’s nuclear security summit agreed to secure all loose nuclear material by 2014.

The agreement gave the administration a final victory in its two-day gathering, which focused on the growing nuclear threat.

Obama acknowledged Tuesday that the goal is “ambitious” and said the leaders were “under no illusions that it will be easy.”

But the president boasted that the summit, attended by more than 40 world leaders, had led to “unprecedented progress” on nuclear security issues.

In their final communiqué, the attendees set out broad but general goals: They agreed on the “urgency and seriousness” of the nuclear threat, agreed to maintain “effective security” of their own nuclear plants and materials and agreed to a “sustained, effective program of international cooperation” on nuclear security.
