UN watchdog wins backing from members for Iran nuclear role
None
The UN atomic watchdog said Friday it had won backing from member states for its efforts to monitor Iran's partial nuclear freeze, which will require an extra 5.5 million euros.
The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Yukiya Amano, said "quite a number of countries" had offered to contribute funds, after a meeting of the watchdog's 35-nation board. "I felt a strong support to the agency. This is very encouraging," Amano told journalists after the meeting in Vienna. (AFP)
