We warmly congratulate on behalf of the Czech Republic and on behalf of all IAEA Board of Governors Members the IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi on his reappointment by the IAEA Board of Governors for his new 4-year term! Best wishes for his next tenure and we are looking forward to the continuation of our excellent cooperation!
The Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) today reappointed by acclamation Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi for a second four-year term in office beginning on 3 December 2023.
In a decision adopted at its regular meeting this week, 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.
After the Bord’s consensus decision, senior representatives of Member States and regional groups took the floor to congratulate Director General Grossi on his reappointment. Member States expressed their full support to the Director General for the upcoming four years.
Director General Grossi took up his first term of office on 2 December 2019, following the General Conference’s approval of his appointment by the Board. His second term starts on 3 December this year and runs until 2 December 2027. He is the sixth Director General since the IAEA was established in 1957.
