 The IAA Board of Governors is meeting this week at the agency's headquarters in Vienna, Austria. In his opening statement, Director-General Yuuki Amano set a nuclear test by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on September 3rd was extremely regrettable. This new test, the sixth and largest since 2006, is in complete disregard of the repeated demands of the international community. The agency remains concerned about the continuation and further development of the DPRK's nuclear program. I call upon the DPRK to comply fully with its obligations under all relevant resolutions of the United Nations Security Council and the IAEA. The Director-General updated the Board on verification and monitoring activities in Iran. The agency continues to verify the non-division of nuclear material declared by Iran under its safeguard agreements. The agency supports member states' efforts to face the challenge of climate change. Without nuclear power, it will be very difficult to achieve the Paris Agreement goal of keeping the rising global temperature this century well below the two degrees Celsius target. Board members meet five times a year. The Board of Governors plays an important role in IAEA policy making. From Vienna, Austria, this is Alejandra Silva reporting for the IAEA.
