During his one-day visit, the UN nuclear chief is planned to meet with Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), Ali Akbar Salehi.
Spokesman of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Behrouz Kamalvandi said on Saturday that Amano’s visit is aimed at facilitating the process of the implementation of the Roadmap.
On July 14, Iran and the IAEA signed a Roadmap regarding the Islamic Republic’s nuclear work in the Austrian capital city of Vienna. The agreement was reached on the same day Iran and the Group 5+1 – the United States, Russia, China, France, Britain and Germany – finalized the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in Vienna.
As part of the Roadmap, the IAEA is required to finish its investigations about Iran’s nuclear activities and submit a report to the agency’s board by December 15.
Also, Head of the Iranian parliament’s Special Commission for Reviewing the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action said on Saturday that Amano will attend a session of the commission on Sunday.
