Региональный центр по ХБРЯ безопасности получил международную аккредитацию и статус регионального центра для стран Центральной Азии
23 января 2025 года в штаб-квартире Международного агентства по атомной энергии (МАГАТЭ) в Вене, Австрия, состоялась торжественная церемония вручения сертификата международной аккредитации, подтверждающего высокий уровень соответствия Регионального центра по химической, биологической, радиационной и ядерной (ХБРЯ) безопасности стандартам МАГАТЭ. На основании этой аккредитации Центру официально был присвоен статус регионального центра для стран Центральной Азии.
В церемонии приняли участие Директор Агентства по ХБРЯ безопасности Национальной Академии наук Таджикистана Илхом Мирсаидзода, Чрезвычайный и Полномочный Посол Республики Таджикистан в Австрийской Республике, постоянный представитель при ОБСЕ, Организации Объединенных Наций и других международных организациях в городе Вене, Идибек Каландар и представитель Исполнительного Аппарата Президента Зафар Сафарализода, а также представители международных организаций и эксперты МАГАТЭ.
Среди 180 государств-членов МАГАТЭ подобные региональные центры по ядерной и радиационной безопасности функционируют только в 11 странах мира. Республика Таджикистан стала 12-й страной, где был создан и аккредитован такой центр. Теперь Таджикистан находится в одном ряду с такими крупными державами, как США, Российская Федерация, Великобритания, Япония, Китай, Франция и другие.
Региональный центр, торжественно открытый в прошлом году Президентом Республики Таджикистан, Основателем мира и национального единства, Лидером Нации, уважаемым Эмомали Рахмоном, был создан для повышения уровня безопасности и укрепления научного потенциала Таджикистана и региона. Международная аккредитация со стороны МАГАТЭ подтверждает, что Центр отвечает строгим требованиям в области ХБРЯ безопасности, включая оборудование, подготовку персонала и проведение исследований.
Присуждение статуса регионального центра для стран Центральной Азии стало важным событием, которое открывает новые возможности для сотрудничества. Теперь Центр будет оказывать услуги, включая обучение и исследования, не только для специалистов из Таджикистана, но и для всех стран региона. Это включает обучение представителей правоохранительных органов и военных структур, исследования в области ядерной криминалистики, биобезопасности и химической аналитики.
Директор Агентства по ХБРЯ безопасности Илхом Мирсаидзода в своем выступлении подчеркнул, что аккредитация Центра со стороны МАГАТЭ — это результат многолетнего труда, международной поддержки и особого внимания, уделенного этому проекту Президентом Республики Таджикистан, Основателем мира и национального единства, Лидером Нации, уважаемым Эмомали Рахмоном и мэра города Душанбе уважаемого Рустами Эмомали. Он отметил, что благодаря личной инициативе и поддержке Президента страны и мэра города, Центр был построен и оснащен современным оборудованием, что позволило ему соответствовать строгим международным стандартам.
Илхом Мирсаидзода также подчеркнул, что Центр станет ключевым звеном в обеспечении безопасности региона и внесет значительный вклад в устойчивое развитие Центральной Азии.
Представитель Исполнительного Аппарата Президента Зафар Сафарализода выразил благодарность международным организациям, включая МАГАТЭ, за поддержку в становлении Центра, отметив важность дальнейшего сотрудничества для достижения общих целей в области глобальной безопасности.
Региональный центр продолжит свою работу в качестве платформы для проведения международных конференций, семинаров и научных исследований, направленных на противодействие угрозам, связанным с ХБРЯ материалами. Проведение церемонии в штаб-квартире МАГАТЭ подчеркивает важность международного признания Центра и укрепляет роль Таджикистана как надежного партнера в области глобальной безопасности и устойчивого развития. Создание такого Центра в Таджикистане является свидетельством высокой оценки международного сообщества вклада страны в обеспечение безопасности и нераспространения.
