The Argentine Republic has the honour to present the candidature of Ambassador Rafael M. Grossi, who currently serves as Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), for the position of Secretary-General of the United Nations for the 2027–2031 term.
Argentina, a founding member of the United Nations, has a long-standing and distinguished track record in the multilateral arena and maintains a firm commitment to the purposes and principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, in particular the preservation of international peace and security and the promotion of cooperation among States.
Ambassador Grossi has an outstanding career spanning over four decades as a member of the Argentine diplomatic service and, more recently, as head of the IAEA, where his leadership was recognized through his election for a second term in 2023. His main achievements have focused on contributing to international peace and security through open, efficient, engaged, and results-oriented management.
His deep knowledge of the multilateral system, his ability to promote diplomatic dialogue, his proven performance in situations of conflict and serious international crises as an impartial and effective interlocutor, his technical and linguistic proficiency, and his commitment to the UN Charter, make him an excellent candidate to carry out the duties that the world today requires of the position of Secretary-General.
