World Japanese diplomat Amano chosen as next IAEA chief
Japanese diplomat Yukiya Amano was chosen as the next leader of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Thursday, diplomats said. Japan's current ambassador to the UN in Vienna is set to become Director General when Mohamed ElBaradei retires after 12 years in office at the end of November. After a protracted process of voting, Amano finally received backing from two thirds of the 35 countries on the IAEA's governing board, beating South African candidate Abdul Minty. As a matter of formality, the selection of Amano, 62, is to be confirmed by the board Friday and by the IAEA's general conference in September. --DPA snb/dg ( 114 Words) 2009-07-02-20:26:21 (IANS)
