ElBaradei begins two-day Tanzania visit
Dar Es Salaam (AFP) July 22, 2009 Outgoing International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Mohamed ElBaradei began a two-day visit to Tanzania on Wednesday, holding talks on the country's peaceful use of uranium. The discussions were held with President Jakaya Kikwete and other senior government officials. Deputy Foreign Minister Seif Iddi has said the east African country plans to use its uranium deposits to generate alternative energy with technical backing from the IAEA. "Tanzania will continue working with the agency to enhance local capacities through science and technology transfer mechanisms," Iddi told reporters. ElBaradei is expected in neighbouring Kenya on Thursday and will also travel to South Africa and Botswana. The veteran Egyptian steps down in November after three four-year terms as IAEA director general and will be succeeded by Japan's Yukiya Amano who was elected earlier this month.
