TBILISI, September 26 (RIA Novosti) - Georgia has restored its voting rights in the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the Georgian Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources said Wednesday.

The decision was announced September 20 at the 51st IAEA General Conference in Vienna.

Georgia joined the IAEA in 1996, but shortly after lost its voting rights as it failed to fulfill its financial obligations. In 2006 Georgia concluded an agreement providing a schedule for the country's debt repayment.

This year Tbilisi made the first payment according to schedule.

Currently Georgia cooperates with the IAEA in 10 national and 20 regional projects on radiation safety, health, and science.
