Director Gerenal of Rosatom State Corporation A.E. Likhachev has sent his condolences to the members of the Secretariat of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in connection with the death of the Agency’s Director General Yu. Amano.
It reads as follows: “On behalf of Rosatom State Corporation and personally, I offer deep condolences in connection with the death of Mr. Yukiya Amano.
Many years of Yu. Amano’s life have been consecrated to serving the IAEA. While heading this organization for ten years, he has done a lot to achieve the aims and goals of the Agency.
Despite the challenging situation in the world, under the leadership of Yu. Amano, the IAEA Secretariat has been conducting a balanced policy that allows the Agency to maintain a professional, non-politicized vector in its activities. This is confirmed by today’s unquestionably high authority of the IAEA as the main international organization responsible for the full range of issues related to the peaceful uses of nuclear energy.
The demise of Yu. Amano is a great loss not only for his family and friends, but also for the global atomic society. I ask you to convey the words of the most sincere sympathy and support to the families and friends of Yu. Amano and to the personnel of the IAEA Secretariat.”
