Japan's Yukiya Amano Takes Over As UN Energy Agency Chief 70 days ago
(RTTNews) - Yukiya Amano, a 62-year-old Japanese diplomat, assumed office Tuesday as Secretary-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), promising to do his best in dealing with "a lot of difficult issues and challenges" facing it.
Addressing senior staff members at IAEA headquarters in Vienna, Japan's former envoy to the UN nuclear watchdog described the situation surrounding the agency as "stormy now."
Amano is greeted with Iran's announcement Sunday that it plans to build ten more uranium enrichment plants in defiance of the IAEA and the UN Security Council directives.
The 35-nation UN entity's governing board elected Amano, who belongs to the only country that had suffered devastation by atomic bombs, by a two-third majority in July over Abdul Samad Minty of South Africa.
Having chaired the agency's board of governors in 2005-06, Amano was working as permanent representative and ambassador to IAEA at the time of his election.
He succeeds Egyptian diplomat Mohamed ElBaradei who stepped down Monday after serving three terms since 1997, marked by rows with the George W Bush administration over Iraq and Iran.
At a farewell address last week, ElBaradei said he was leaving office 'disappointed' that Tehran backed out from an agreed multinational deal aimed at reducing tensions over the country's nuclear program.
He said Iran was not cooperating with IAEA in uncovering the truth about that country's clandestine nuclear weapons program.
