IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Vienna, March 9, IRNA -- The Board of Governors of the International 
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) postponed discussions on issues pertaining
to Iran`s nuclear programs on Tuesday upon a request by the head of 
the Group of 77 (developing countries). The board is to continue its 
review on Wednesday. 
An informed source at the IAEA, talking to IRNA here Tuesday on 
condition of anonymity, said talks between IEAE officials on issues 
surrounding Iran`s nuclear programs are still going on. 
"No working document, a draft resolution or a statement, on Iran 
has been agreed upon so far," the source said. 
European and American representatives are currently discussing 
the text of a proposed resolution on Iran, it noted, adding that the 
primary text proposed by the United States on Iran was rejected by 
most European states. 
The IAEA governing board is to discuss issues on nuclear security 
and technical help in its meeting today. 
The meeting of 35 member states of the IAEA Governing Board opened
at UN Headquarters in Vienna on Monday. 
Technical and security issues on nuclear activities and the 
report by IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei on Iranian and Libyan nuclear 
activities were among the important issues that were discussed during 
the meeting.
