The Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has reappointed by acclamation Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi for a second four-year term in office beginning in early December 2023.
In a decision adopted at its regular meeting, the 35-nation Board requested that the General Conference – the annual meeting of the IAEA’s 176 Member States – approve the reappointment when it meets in September.
Commenting on the development, Director General Grossi said, “I’m deeply honoured by the Board’s unanimous decision to appoint me for another term in office, and very grateful for the confidence and trust Member States continue to place in me as head of this truly remarkable organization. It comes at a time when we face many major challenges and I’m fully committed to continue to do everything in my power to implement the IAEA’s crucial mission in support of global peace and development.”
