When speaking at the forum he expressed gratitude to Kazakhstan for its suggestion to host an international nuclear fuel bank in its territory.
“Kazakhstan has suggested hosting a bank of low-enriched uranium in its territory under the aegis of the IAEA. I am grateful to the Kazakhstan Government for the suggestion”, he said.
