The agreement was signed by Iran’s Vice-President and Head of the Atomic Energy Organization, Mohammad Eslami, and Burkina Faso’s Minister of Higher Education, Scientific Research, and Innovation. This MoU marks a new chapter in the relationship between the two nations, as it sets a framework for collaboration in the peaceful use of nuclear technology.
The MoU outlines a broad scope of cooperation, ranging from nuclear research and educational programs to the development of joint projects. These initiatives aim to enhance scientific knowledge and innovation within both countries, promoting the peaceful application of nuclear energy for societal and industrial benefits.
This partnership reflects Iran’s ongoing efforts to strengthen international collaborations in the nuclear sector, as well as Burkina Faso’s drive to expand its scientific capabilities and infrastructure. The specific areas of focus, including research and educational activities, highlight the importance both countries place on knowledge-sharing and the long-term potential of nuclear technology.
