Rosatom CEO Hails Grossi for Keeping IAEA 'Sole Non-Politicized International Body'
SIRIUS, Russia (Sputnik) - Under the leadership of Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, the organization has remained the world's only non-politicized international body, according to a statement made on Thursday by Alexey Likhachev, CEO of Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom.
"The only international organization that has remained within its agenda and has not switched exclusively to political rhetoric is the IAEA. Yes, we are not exactly like-minded people, we assess some issues differently, but nevertheless, I can responsibly declare that the IAEA continues to fulfill its mandate despite the most difficult situation," Likhachev said at the session of the V Congress of Young Scientists, commenting on the nomination of Grossi by Argentina for the post of UN Secretary General.

"We are cognizant of the current budget constraints and the full mobilization of our resources for the special military operation. Yet, the president regularly convenes meetings on peaceful nuclear energy and on strengthening our nuclear 'shield' and 'sword.' This personal oversight by the head of state, his attention to the finest details and to the agenda of virtually every construction project abroad, is a historic fact, especially considering the Russian president's understandably jam-packed schedule." Likhachev stated at the Congress of Young Scientists hosted by Russia's Sirius Federal Territory.
