TEHRAN (AFP) - The UN nuclear watchdog's deputy director general is to hold talks in Tehran with Iranian officials next week on an accord over their atomic drive, the ISNA news agency reported on Wednesday.
""A new meeting will take place on Monday in Tehran with the visit of Olli Heinonen,"" said Ali Asghar Soltanieh, Iran's ambassador to the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).Heinonen clinched a deal in August for Iran to answer remaining questions over its atomic program so the agency can conclude a four year investigation into its nature.
Soltanieh also said that IAEA officials wrapped up five days of tallks in Tehran with Iranian officials over uranium-enriching P1 and P2 centrifuges as part of the August agreement.
