The 35-member Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) opened its season's meeting in Vienna, Austria on Monday.
IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei is to deliver the keynote address and present a report on topics that are to be taken up in the session.
Although ElBaradei will be presenting a three-page report on Iran's nuclear program to members of the board, diplomats said no resolutions will be passed although the Iran nuclear issue is on the agenda.
Europe's latest offer to Tehran to resolve the nuclear standoff would be discussed with the aim of reaching a common ground for dealing with the dispute that would satisfy both sides.
Last week, the six powers -- China, Russia, US, France and England plus Germany offered Iran economic and security incentives on condition it stop uranium enrichment and resume negotiations on its nuclear activities.
The IAEA seasonal meeting will also focus on issues including technical cooperation, the agency's report for the year 2005 and implementation of safeguard agreements with the IAEA.
The IAEA Board of Governors may raise the issue of Iran's nuclear activities on Wednesday.
