Meanwhile, in a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mr Dar said energy security stands high on global priorities \u2014 for both developing and the developed world.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need clean and cost-effective energy.

The minister said, \u201cWe wish to further enhance our cooperation on initiatives of DG IAEA including \u2018Atoms\u00ad4NetZero\u2019, \u2018Atoms4Food\u2019, \u2018Rays of Hope\u2019, \u2018Zodiac\u2019, \u2018NUTEC Plastics\u2019 and \u2018Marie Curie fellowships\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Dar emphasised three points for further development of nuclear energy \u2014 access to technology, financing nuclear power projects and increasing the IAEA\u2019s technical cooperation fund.<\/p>\n

Mr Dar also held a meeting with Azerbaijan\u2019s Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov on the margins of the summit.<\/p>\n
