Tehran, Sept 19, IRNA � Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency Yukiya Amano on Wednesday said that Iran continues to implement its nuclear-related commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

'My report on Verification and monitoring in the Islamic Republic of Iran in light of United Nations Security Council resolution 2231 (2015) summarizes the verification and monitoring activities that the Agency has conducted in the last few months,' Amano said in his introductory statement to the IAEA Board of Governors which started its seasonal meeting in the Austrian capital on Monday.

'Since my last report, Iran has submitted its declarations under the Additional Protocol, which it is applying provisionally, pending its entry into force,' said the IAEA cheif adding that Iran�s declarations are being evaluated by the Agency.

He said that the Agency continues to verify the non-diversion of nuclear material declared by Iran under its Safeguards Agreement.

Evaluations regarding the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities for Iran continue, he said.
