The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors is meeting in September 2025 to discuss key issues related to the agency’s work. The Board of Governors, along with the annual General Conference of IAEA Member States, serves as one of the two main policy-making bodies for the IAEA.
During its sessions, the board reviews and makes recommendations on matters such as financial statements, program planning, and budgeting for the agency. It also considers applications from countries seeking membership, approves safeguards agreements designed to ensure nuclear materials are not diverted from peaceful uses, and oversees the publication of safety standards. Additionally, the board is responsible for appointing the Director General of the IAEA, subject to approval by the General Conference.
A full list of U.S. statements delivered at this session is available for those interested in further details.
