The Iraqi Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, confirmed on Monday that Iraq was among the first countries to attempt to build nuclear reactors for peaceful uses, adhere to the IAEA’s treaties, and apply to join the organization.

Al-Sudani’s remarks took place during his meeting with the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Mariano Grossi, where he highlighted Iraq’s belief that the development of nuclear energy should lead to prosperity rather than the creation of deadly weapons, according to a statement released by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).

The Iraqi Prime Minister stated that his country is eager to return to the peaceful uses of nuclear energy and that it submitted a request to join the Convention on Nuclear Safety (CNS), the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management, and the Convention on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management at the end of 2023.
