Liu mentioned that the report was released in the name of the IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi. Although the IAEA Secretariat had sought opinions of the technical working group's experts on the draft report before its release, the time given to the experts was very limited, and their opinions were only for reference, with the decision on whether to adopt them being made by the IAEA Secretariat.
After receiving feedback, the IAEA Secretariat did not initiate a discussion or reached a consensus with the experts on the modification of the report or the adoption of the opinions before the hasty release of the report, according to Liu.
