International Atomic Energy Agency has acknowledged Pakistan’s accomplishments in the peaceful uses of nuclear technologies for coping with the adverse impacts of global warming-caused climate breakdown.

These views were expressed by the IAEA Director Genera Rafael Mariano Grossi while talking to the Prime Minister’s Special Assistant on Climate Change, Malik Amin Aslam, on the sidelines of the ongoing UN climate summit in Glasgow.

During the meeting, they discussed various areas of cooperation for promotion of nuclear energy as clean energy in Pakistan.

The IAEA Chief praised Prime Minister Imran Khan's Eco-System Restoration Initiative, which includes a programme to plant 10 billion trees across the country.

He said the operational nuclear power plants in Pakistan are contributing to global efforts for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
