Vienna: Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Yukiya Amano, expressed his deep appreciation for the contribution of the State of Qatar and some of the Agency's member States to the financing of the renovation of the IAEA laboratories at €30m.
At the opening ceremony of the IAEA new laboratories, Amano said that the donation enabled the Agency to renew its laboratories and thereby assist its member States to benefit from nuclear science and technology to combat insect pests that spread deadly diseases such as malaria, destroy agricultural crops and livestock and endanger public health.
