The LEC coalition has since expanded to include 13 partners following the addition of Spain and the European Union. Originally involving the Philippines, the United States, and Japan, the group now includes Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Italy, the Republic of Korea, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Spain, and the EU.
