(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) VIENNA, Sept 18 (KUNA) -- Kuwait signed on Wednesday an agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for the protection of the marine environment.
The deal is significant since it focuses on technical and scientific knowhow across several fields, which fits into Kuwait's 20235 vision for sustainable development, the Gulf state's ambassador to Austria Sadiq Marafie told KUNA after the deal was sealed.
The agreement, which was signed on behalf of the agency by its Acting Director General Cornel Feruta, is another chapter in Kuwait's storied relationship with the global body, the Kuwaiti diplomat said.
A separate deal will designate a Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research (KISR) facility as among centers affiliated with the IAEA, he revealed after the signing held on the sidelines of the Vienna-based IAEA General Conference.
Two days earlier, KISR signed a pair of deals with the IAEA, focusing on the development of nuclear expertise in a myriad of fields. (end)
