As part of Ukraine’s participation in the 69th IAEA General Conference in Vienna, Minister of Energy of Ukraine Svitlana Grynchuk held a series of bilateral meetings with the heads of delegations from Belgium, Germany, Canada, Sweden, and Austria.
During her visit to the IAEA headquarters, Minister Grynchuk met with Bernard Quentin, Minister of Internal Security of Belgium, Matthieu Bie, Minister of Energy of Belgium, Wolfgang Anzengruber, Austrian Government Coordinator for Ukraine’s Reconstruction, Rita Schwarzelühr-Sutter, Parliamentary State Secretary of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection, Dag Hartelius, State Secretary for Foreign Affairs of Sweden, and Jeff Labonte, Deputy Minister of Natural Resources of Canada.
“The focus of the dialogue was the current situation of Ukraine’s energy system, the consequences of recent Russian attacks, and preparations of the energy sector for the winter season. Key issues included the stability of Ukraine’s nuclear generation and the prevention of nuclear risks amid Russia’s full-scale aggression. We also discussed the current situation at the Zaporizhzhia NPP and outlined possible avenues for further cooperation. I am grateful to our partners for their continued readiness to support Ukraine. To further advance the dialogue, I invited colleagues to participate in the ReBuild Ukraine conference, which will take place in November in Warsaw,” noted Svitlana Grynchuk.
