WASHINGTON, April 7 (UPI) -- The United States and New Zealand signed an arrangement for cooperation on non-proliferation assistance, the U.S. State Department said Tuesday.

The arrangement signed by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and New Zealand Foreign Minister Murray McCully supports collaboration between the two countries to secure nuclear and radioactive materials that could be used in weaponry and to detect and deter illegal traffickers, the State Department said in a news release.

Through this arrangement, New Zealand pledged to provide approximately $350,000 to support a U.S. program that will equip Kazakhstan's borders with radiation monitors and provide related infrastructure and training, the State Department said.
