On this occasion, the Sovereign expressed to Mr. Mariano Grossi his warmest congratulations and his best wishes for success in his lofty mission.
"This appointment is a recognition of your rich professional international position, which will, I am sure, help you enhance the Agency's performance and fulfil its noble mission in order to support the efforts made to promote peace and security in the world," HM the King pointed out in the message.
"I should also like to take this opportunity to assure you of the Kingdom of Morocco's continued support for the various initiatives and actions undertaken by the Agency, particularly those aimed at strengthening the global nuclear security system and promoting the peaceful use of atomic energy, making it a driving force for comprehensive and sustainable development in the world, rather than a threat to international security," the Sovereign added.
