The two-day visit by the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief director general comes as the Vienna-based organisation seeks greater cooperation with Iran over its nuclear activities.
“By having a constructive discussion… and having good agreements, like I am sure we are going to have, we are going to be paving the way for important agreements,” Grossi told a news conference alongside Iran’s top nuclear official Mohammad Eslami.
In his series of meetings with Iranian officials, Grossi met President Ebrahim Raisi.
Raisi acknowledged that “cooperation is a two-way street… (and) can continue based on maintaining the agency’s independence and the rights of the Iranian nation,” the political deputy of Iran’s presidency, Mohammad Jamshidi tweeted.
A diplomatic source earlier told AFP that the meeting with Raisi was aimed to “relaunch the dialogue” on Iran’s atomic work and to “reset the relationship at the highest level”.
