Envoys of 120 countries heading for Arak to explore nuclear site
Tehran, Jan 15, IRNA – Representatives of 120 world countries are heading for the city of Arak in central Iran to explore nuclear facilities there.
The representatives whose countries are all members of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) arrived in Iran Saturday morning upon the invitation of the Iranian government.
Iran’s ambassador and permanent representative to the IAEA Ali Asghar Soltaniyeh told IRNA that the diplomats and experts visiting Iran are representing 120 countries which are members of the Non-Aligned Movement and Group 77.
He also noted that those countries welcomed Iran’s initiative as a proof of Iran’s policy of transparency in its nuclear activities.
Soltaniyeh further pointed out that a similar visit took place in 2007 in Isfahan when the representatives visited the UCF in the city.
He said Iran had invited a number of other countries which are member states of the European Union to join the majority of world countries who are sending their representatives to Iran but they failed to make use of this historical opportunity to closely observe Iran’s peaceful nuclear activities.
However, he noted, Iran respected the decision of these countries not to participate in the visit./end
