 The IAEA's 60th General Conference gets underway next week at the agency's headquarters in Vienna, Austria. It will bring together more than 2,000 participants from over 140 countries, including 59 ministers. The IAEA General Conference is the largest conference that we host every year. It occurs in the month of September, normally, and it lasts for about a week. And it brings together all the major players from the nuclear community in both the developed world and the developing world. The conference provides an opportunity for agency member states to reflect on the achievements in the past year and set the priorities for the next 12 months. It really is the occasion for our members to come and to talk about issues that are of concern to them, whether it's nuclear safety, nuclear security, safeguards, nuclear technologies, health issues. It's really a forum for many of these different things. During the conference, over 30 side events will present various aspects of the IAEA's work. These include a two-day scientific forum that focuses on sustainable development. And we have a special guest this year who is his Royal Highness Prince Albert from Monaco who will be attending this special scientific session and he'll be making some special remarks. So we're really excited about that. The General Conference gets bigger and better each year. It offers the membership, the people who attend an opportunity to have business but also have fun. And so I think this is a really great forum and people usually look forward to it. The Six-Year General Conference starts on Monday, 26th of September. More information can be found at www.iea.org.
