IAEA board backs Grossi’s appointment to second four-year term
The UN nuclear watchdog’s 35-nation Board of Governors on Friday backed the reappointment of Argentina’s Rafael Grossi to a second four-year term as director general of the watchdog, diplomats at the closed-door meeting said.
The International Atomic Energy Agency’s board approved his reappointment by acclamation, meaning that no vote was held and no country expressed opposition, diplomats said.
The decision is subject to approval by the IAEA’s General Conference, an annual meeting of all member states held in the autumn.
