The 35-member Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) met for the second day here on Tuesday.
Iran's Ambassador to the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency Ali-Asghar Soltaniyeh told IRNA here earlier today that the session this afternoon will look into ways of strengthening technical cooperation in the IAEA.
The Iranian envoy, who was speaking minutes before the opening of the session, said that the scientific and technical reports of the agency for the year 2005 will also be reviewed by the 35-member governing board in this afternoon's session.
As to verification of states' nuclear compliance, Soltaniyeh said the latest status of countries' compliance with the Additional Protocol and a report by the consultative committee created to strengthen IAEA safeguards will be discussed at the meeting.
The proposal made recently by the US, Russia, France, Britain, China and Germany on the fuel cycle system will also be reviewed this afternoon, the Iranian envoy said.
He said that the IAEA Board of Governors may raise the issue of Iran's nuclear activities on Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday.
A statement of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) member states on the right of states to nuclear energy will probably be read at the meeting, he said.
The IAEA Board of Governors opened it season's meeting in Vienna on Monday, the meeting to continue until Wednesday evening or Thursday morning.
