Move over, global power players—there’s a new contender in town! Rafael Grossi, current Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), has officially thrown his hat into the ring to become the next UN Secretary-General. Think of it like the diplomatic version of a K-pop comeback stage 🎤, but with more policy briefs and fewer dance breaks.
The race, set for 2024, will determine who replaces António Guterres of Portugal, who’s held the top UN role since 2017. Grossi, known for his hands-on approach during nuclear safety crises (including the Zaporizhzhia plant negotiations), is framing his bid around strengthening multilateral cooperation. 💪🌍
While Guterres hasn’t confirmed if he’ll seek reappointment, insiders say the race could heat up faster than a TikTok trend. Will Grossi’s nuclear diplomacy creds give him the edge? Time for the ultimate international job interview! 🤝✨
