 The IAEA Board of Governors is meeting this week at the agency's headquarters. Board members discuss important aspects of the IAEA's work, including its technical cooperation activities. In his opening statement, Director General Yuki Yamano updated the Board on verification and monitoring activities in Iran. Iran is implementing its nuclear-related commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. It is essential that Iran continues to fully implement those commitments. The agency continues to monitor the nuclear program of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. At Jambion, further activities were observed near the Korean River. At the Light Water Reactor, the agency also observed activities consistent with the fabrication of reactor components. And the possible transfer of these components into the reactor building. However, without access, the agency cannot confirm the nature and purpose of these activities. Member states were also informed about the progress of the IAEA Low Enriched Uranium Bank in Kazakhstan. I am pleased to inform the Board that the agency has signed L.E.U. acquisition contracts with two suppliers, Kaz Adam Prom and Orano Cycle. Our aim is to have the L.E.U. delivered to the IAEA storage facility before the end of 2019. From Vienna, Austria, this is Alejandra Silva reporting for the IAEA.
