Pakistan elected to IAEA’s Board of Governors

Friday, 18 Sep, 2009

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Friday was elected to the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) against the regional seat reserved for the Middle East and South Asia (Mesa) region.

Pakistan was the consensus candidate from the Mesa.

Pakistan's election took place by acclamation at the 53rd regular session of the IAEA General Conference which is underway in Vienna from September 14-18.

Pakistan will now commence its 17th two-year term on the IAEA Board.

The country’s election to the Board of Governors is recognition of its long standing commitment to the aims and objectives of the IAEA, a Foreign Office statement said.

‘Pakistan has pursued peaceful uses of nuclear technology, in particular nuclear power generation. Pakistan has traditionally played an active role in the IAEA,’ the statement said.

During this term Pakistan will work closely with the IAEA and fellow member states for further development of peaceful nuclear energy at the national, regional and international levels.
