 At the start of a key IAEA meeting, the Director-General has briefed member states on development with Iran, as well as IAEA support to address major global challenges. During his opening address to the board, Mr Grossi discussed agency questions concerning the correctness and completeness of Iran's safeguards declarations. We have reiterated their requirement for Iran to clarify and to resolve these issues without further delay. Why? Because the lack of progress in clarifying them seriously affects our ability to provide assurance of the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program. The Director-General also covered the agency's COVID-19 support to 128 countries and weighs the IAEA plans to help reduce the threat of future pandemics. Zodiac, the Zoonotic Disease Integrated Action, the IAEA contribution to the world efforts against the pandemic are starting. Zodiac does not do what others do. Zodiac does what only the IAEA can do which is the application of nuclear science, technologies in this effort. Looking to the future, Mr Grossi confirmed the IAEA has accepted Japan's request to monitor the discharge of treated water from the Fukushima nuclear plant. This assistance will be provided before, during and after the discharge of the treated water and will be planned, managed and implemented by the IAEA. It will be supported by a group of designated international recognized experts from member states including from within the region under the authority of the IAEA.
