Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) release a joint statement following two days of intense negotiations in the Iranian capital.
During the meetings, the two sides reviewed progress on the implementation of the six initial practical measures that were agreed three months ago.
Iran and the IAEA also reached an agreement on seven practical measures to be implemented by Tehran as voluntary measures by 15 May 2014.
According to an IAEA statement, Iran has agreed to provide mutually agreed relevant information and managed access to the Saghand uranium mine in Yazd and the Ardakan concentration plant.
Iran will also provide mutually agreed relevant information and arrange for a technical visit to Lashkar Abad Laser Centre.
The country will further submit an updated Design Information Questionnaire (DIQ) for the IR-40 Arak heavy water reactor and take steps to agree with the IAEA on the conclusion of a Safeguards Approach for the IR-40 Reactor.
Iran and the IAEA signed a joint statement in November 2013 to outline a roadmap on mutual cooperation on certain outstanding nuclear issues. Under the deal, Iran agreed, on a voluntary basis, to allow IAEA inspectors to visit the Arak heavy water plant and the Gachin uranium mine, south of Iran.
The IAEA inspectors visited the Arak heavy water plant on December 8, 2013 as the first step in mutual cooperation under the Iran-IAEA agreement. The IAEA inspectors also made a five-hour visit to the Gachin uranium mine in late January.
