Somalia officially joined the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), becoming the 179th member state during the agency’s 68th General Conference in Vienna, Austria.
This marks a significant step in Somalia’s efforts to enhance its scientific, technological, and energy capabilities.
As a member of the IAEA, Somalia will have access to support in areas such as nuclear safety, medical applications of nuclear technology, and peaceful uses of nuclear energy, which can contribute to its development goals.
This membership is expected to foster international cooperation and aid Somalia’s reconstruction and development efforts across various sectors.
