International cooperation is fundamental to accomplishing the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership’s nonproliferation goals. As of August 2008, 21 nations have signed the GNEP Statement of Principles (pdf) to share a commitment to the safe, secure worldwide expansion of nuclear power and to the development and deployment of technologies that encourage clean development and prosperity, improve the environment and reduce the risk of nuclear proliferation. The Global Nuclear Energy Partnership will now be shaped and molded by its international partners. See the shared international Global Nuclear Energy Partnership website for additional information

As the international center for nuclear cooperation, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) plays a major role in GNEP. Host to several GNEP conferences, the IAEA is fostering multinational communication and integrating ideas and proposals for fuel cycle initiatives from many countries.
