The International Atomic Energy Agency: The last agreement with Iran proves that the dialogue is not indispensable

This came during his opening speech in the sixty -ninth session of the Agency’s General Conference, which Raphael Mariano Grossi confirmed that it is held in “A decisive moment” Where he faces the world “Very difficult times.”

He added that the agency had to withdraw its inspectors from Iran after the attacks on nuclear facilities there in June, but it has worked during the past weeks with Iran to take practical steps aimed at resuming the full application of nuclear guarantees.

These endeavors were crowned last week by signing an agreement between the two parties in Cairo, and in this context, Mr. Grossi said that it is now time to implement the agreement.

The Director General also indicated that the agency is conducting an investigation process in Syria after the new authorities have agreed to cooperate with full transparency with it. He added: “Once it is completed, I am sure that it will lead to a permanent solution to the previous nuclear activities of Syria, which paves the way for its full reintegration into the international community.”

Challenges to prevent spread

Mr. Grossi stressed that the system of preventing global nuclear spread is exposed “For great pressure” It must be protected. He pointed to the continuation of the Nuclear Weapons Program for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, but he stressed that the challenges come from “New sides” Also, as some countries that “have a good reputation regarding their obligations under the Non -Proliferation Treaty” are now publicly discussed “Whether it will have nuclear weapons or not.”

Urging member states to restore commitment “With a system, it was one of the most important foundations of international peace, even during the decades of our generation.” He said: “It is completely indispensable now, in light of the deep division that the world is witnessing again.”

Nuclear energy to combat climate change

Mr. Grossi also highlighted the role of nuclear energy in combating climate change, noting that it is now expected that the ability to produce nuclear energy will increase by two and a half times by 2050.

He said that the interest of states is increasing across the continents due to their advantages and excellent safety record, where there are 40 countries in different stages of development, and 20 other countries that explore nuclear energy as part of their future energy mix.

He added “To unleash the global nuclear capacity,” The developed countries – especially developing ones – need support, and organizational regulations must adapt to the new reality, and the necessary funding must be provided.
