Poland became a member of the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
"During the annual General Conference in Vienna, the member states of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) elected Poland to the Board of Governors for the 2020-2022 term," the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Thursday (September 24). "This is another great success of Poland in the United Nations system," President Andrzej Duda said on Twitter.
The ministry announced that a place in this body would strengthen Poland's involvement in the international forum in the policy of nuclear non-proliferation and the peaceful use of nuclear energy.
“Poland is an active member of all existing regimes, organizations and initiatives operating in the field of nuclear non-proliferation. This is reflected in our important role in the current NPT review process,” the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affair, commented.
Andrzej Duda congratulated Ambassador Dominika Krois (since November last year, ambassador and Poland's permanent representative at the United Nations Office and International Organizations in Vienna) and Director Adam Bugajski (Krois's predecessor, currently director of the MFA's Security Policy Department).
