Iran to attend IAEA Convention on Nuclear Safety
TEHRAN, April 13 (MNA) -- Iran’s Ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency, Ali Asghar Soltanieh, earlier on Tuesday, announced that the Islamic Republic of Iran will attend the IAEA Convention on Nuclear Safety.
Talking to the Fars News Agency, he said that the conference will be held in the second half of June, and the senior officials of the member states will take part in the event.
The Islamic Republic will participate in the conference as an active member, he stated.
The Convention on Nuclear Safety was adopted in Vienna on 17 June 1994. The Convention was drawn up during a series of expert level meetings from 1992 to 1994 and was the result of considerable work by Governments, national nuclear safety authorities and the Agency’s Secretariat. Its aim is to legally commit participating States operating land-based nuclear power plants to maintain a high level of safety by setting international benchmarks to which States would subscribe.
