Morocco’s Permanent Representative in Vienna, Ambassador Azzeddine Farhane reaffirmed Tuesday the Kingdom’s full commitment to achieving the objectives of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and strengthening the international nuclear security system.
Morocco remains fully committed to its regional and international partners to contribute to the strengthening of the international nuclear security system and the achievement of the objectives of the IAEA, said Farhane, who presented the Kingdom’s statement to the IAEA Board of Governors (6-10 March).
This commitment goes according to an approach that advocates multilateral action aimed at preserving the delicate balance between the “safe, secure and peaceful use of nuclear science and technology” and strict compliance with commitments on non-proliferation of nuclear weapons and nuclear disarmament.” Morocco fully adheres to the principle that the primary responsibility for nuclear security rests entirely with States, in accordance with their national obligations and international commitments duly undertaken, said the Ambassador, speaking under Agenda Item 3 on “Nuclear Security: Comprehensive Nuclear Security Report 2023”.
Welcoming the quality of the Comprehensive Nuclear Security Report 2023, Farhane noted that the Kingdom takes note with particular interest of this document, which “focuses, inter alia, on the IAEA’s efforts to assist States Parties in maintaining and implementing national nuclear security regimes, the capacity-building activities recorded in the field of nuclear security, as well as the past activities of the education, training and cooperation networks, highlighting important results achieved under the Nuclear Security Plan and indicating the objectives and priorities of the program for the coming year.
Morocco “supports the Agency’s efforts to implement the Nuclear Security Plan for 2022-2025, which was noted by the General Conference at its 65th regular session in September 2021,” he said.
Farhane also stressed the importance of the IAEA’s nuclear security activities, which are closely related not only to nuclear safety but also to supporting the peaceful use of nuclear technologies by Member States and protecting against the diversion or misuse of nuclear and other radioactive materials.
