Saudi Arabia Honored by IAEA for Participation in Comprehensive Nuclear Initiative

IAEA AWARDS CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION TO SAUDI ARABIA FOR PARTICIPATION IN COMPREHENSIVE NUCLEAR INITIATIVE.
VIENNA: The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has recognized the efforts of Saudi Arabia in participating in its Comprehensive Capacity Building Initiative (Compass) by awarding a certificate of appreciation and gratitude.

The certificate was handed over to Jalawi bin Nasser Al-Qahtani, the representative of the Saudi Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Commission, during a reception held at the Saudi Arabia's permanent delegation headquarters in Vienna on Friday.

Compass, launched in 2020, is an initiative aimed at helping member countries strengthen their nuclear safeguards implementation and accounting systems.

Saudi Arabia was among the first six countries to participate in the initiative.

The Saudi Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Commission is an independent agency tasked with implementing the government's policies to prevent the proliferation of nuclear and radiation-emitting materials.

The certificate of merit recognizes Saudi Arabia's contributions to the IAEA's efforts to promote nuclear safety and security.

The agency's Director-General, Rafael Grossi, expressed his gratitude towards Saudi Arabia for its participation in the Compass initiative and for its commitment to the IAEA's objectives.

The award marks a significant milestone in the Saudi Arabian government's efforts to strengthen its nuclear regulatory framework and promote the safe and secure use of nuclear technologies.

The agency looks forward to continuing its partnership with Saudi Arabia in the future.

In conclusion, the IAEA's recognition of Saudi Arabia's contributions to the Compass initiative is a testament to the kingdom's commitment to promoting nuclear safety and security.

The agency looks forward to continuing its partnership with Saudi Arabia to ensure the safe and secure use of nuclear technologies.
