Vienna, September 2025 – On the sidelines of the 69th General Conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the Moroccan Agency for Nuclear and Radiological Safety and Security (AMSSNuR) held a bilateral meeting with the Australian authorities responsible for nuclear regulation. This meeting marks an important first step towards establishing a long-term and structured cooperation between the two countries in the fields of nuclear safety, security, and safeguards.

During the meeting, both parties exchanged views on their strategic priorities, including the establishment and strengthening of regulatory frameworks, the development of technical capacities, and the promotion of a culture of nuclear safety and security. Discussions also addressed potential experience-sharing in regulatory oversight, radioactive material management, and preparedness and response to emergency situations.

For AMSSNuR, this engagement reflects a clear commitment to consolidating its regional and international role and actively contributing to the strengthening of the global nuclear safety and security regime. AMSSNuR continues to pursue bilateral and multilateral cooperation, as demonstrated by its strategic partnerships with multiple countries and international organizations.

By opening this new dialogue with Australia – a key player in the global nuclear sector – AMSSNuR aims to diversify its partnerships and pave the way for concrete collaborative projects that serve common interests and protect populations and the environment.

This initiative aligns with the Kingdom of Morocco’s vision, which places nuclear and radiological safety and security at the core of its commitment to sustainable development, international cooperation, and adherence to the highest standards set by the IAEA.
