Pakistan has been elected as a member of the board of governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for the next two years due to its important contribution in the peaceful uses of nuclear technology, safety and security. Pakistan has been elected 20 times to the board in the past and has played a vital role in the formulation of the agency’s policies and programmes.
Pakistan was last elected as a member of the IAEA in 2018.
Of the agency’s 170 member countries, the board consists of 35 members, out of which 11 are elected to the IAEA’s board of governors every two years.
