VIENNA, Sept. 16 (Xinhua) — The 69th session of the General Conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) opened in Vienna on Monday, focusing on the peaceful uses of nuclear energy and technology and the urgent need to safeguard the global nuclear non-proliferation regime.
In a message delivered by UN Vienna Director-General Ghada Waly, the head of the world organization, António Guterres, noted that the IAEA plays a vital role in ensuring that nuclear science and technology are used exclusively for peaceful purposes.
“Together, we can ensure that these instruments advance development and protect humanity,” the message said, calling for continued efforts to address the threat of nuclear proliferation.
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said the conference was being held at a critical time, citing terrorism, armed conflict and the erosion of the nuclear non-proliferation regime amid growing global inequality. He said he had informed the UN Security Council that the global nuclear non-proliferation regime needed to be defended.
The conference will run until September 19. It brought together more than 2,500 participants, including representatives of IAEA Member States, international and non-governmental organizations.
Delegates will review the agency's 2024 annual report and 2026 budget, and discuss nuclear science and applications, safety and safeguards in Ukraine, North Korea and the Middle East. –0–
