Among the registered senior officials were 57 ministers and 37 deputy ministers. In addition, 348 representatives of international and non-governmental organizations participated in the conference. The number of NGO participants more than doubled from 2021, reflecting the IAEA's growing engagement with developments around the world.

In hisintroductory remarks At the opening of the General Conference on Monday, IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi outlined the measures the Agency is taking within its unique mandate in the current circumstances, which he described as “extremely challenging times.”

“[The IAEA’s mandate] covers everything from reducing the risk of nuclear proliferation – and ultimately the risk of nuclear war – to using advances in nuclear science and technology to feed families, power cities, and treat children with cancer,” he stressed.

General Conference And Board of Governors are the two policy-making organs of the IAEA. The Council reviews the financial statements, program, and budget of the IAEA and makes recommendations thereon to the General Conference.
