Following the signing ceremony, Minister Fu hosted Amano to a working lunch.  They had a candid and wide-ranging discussion on international and regional developments in nuclear safety, and exchanged views on how the region can work more closely with the IAEA in the areas of nuclear safety and the peaceful applications of nuclear science.


Amano concludes his working visit to Singapore today.  His visit to Singapore was part of a regional tour of Southeast Asia, which includes Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Brunei.
