Earlier in the day, Rosatom said in a statement that representatives of 75 countries had arrived at the 2024 Atomexpo International Forum.

"Over 4,500 people plan to take part in the Atomexpo-2024 forum, among them are participants from 75 countries of the near and far abroad," Rosatom said.

Meanwhile, Rafael Grossi, the head of the IAEA, stated that Rosatom plays an important role in developing technology for the peaceful use of atomic energy and energy supply worldwide.
"Undoubtedly, 'Rosatom' plays an important role in the context of developing technologies that play a role in the energy supply of the future. And not only within its own country but also in a global sense. I have had the opportunity to personally visit some of the well-known projects developed by 'Rosatom'. Projects come to my mind that 'Rosatom' is implementing in Turkiye, Egypt, Bangladesh, and many other countries. These are significant achievements at the international level," Grossi said, speaking via video link at the opening of the "Atomexpo" exhibition.
