Iran-Russia-Negotiations
An Iranian delegation led by Secretary of Supreme National Security Council Ali Larijani will take part in the third round of negotiations with Russian officials on Iranian nuclear program tomorrow, Russian National Security Council said on Tuesday.
Secretary of Russian National Security Council Igor Ivanov invited his Iranian counterpart Larijani to finalize an agreement on Russian offer to Iran to establish joint venture for uranium enrichment, the spokesman for Russian National Security said.
The Russian press had already said that Larijani's deputy Ali Hosseini-Tash will come to Moscow for the talks, but, then corrected their report and said that Larijani himself will attend the negotiations.
The head of Iranian Atomic Energy Organization (IAEO) Gholamreza Aqazadeh and his Russian counterpart Sergei Kiriyenko reached an agreement in principle on February 26 to set up joint venture uranium enrichment plant to produce fuel for Iranian nuclear power plants.
Iran and Russia held the first and second rounds of negotiations on Russian offer last January and February in Moscow and Tehran respectively.
Aqazadeh and Hosseini-Tash are accompanying Larijani to Moscow.
