India has been elected as the external auditor to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for a period of six years from 2022 to 2027 after beating Germany and the United Kingdom among other counties.
India’s comptroller and auditor general GC Murmu was selected as the external auditor of IAEA and the ministry of external affairs (MEA) said his candidature received majority support of the IAEA general conference.
The MEA has said that the election is a “recognition” of India’s standing in the international community and global acknowledgement of the CAG’s credentials, professionalism and experience.
