‘Iran able to export nuclear reactors’

Addressing Iranians living in Cyprus during a luncheon on Tuesday, the minister who is currently in Nicosia noted that in addition to exporting nuclear reactors, Iran is also producing 20-percent enriched uranium as fuel for those reactors.

“Iran is currently a pioneer country in the field of biotechnology, and in space science, it is the sole country in the Islamic world and among developing countries which has sent three satellites into the orbit,” he said.

The minister stated that Iran attaches great importance to the European Union and developing EU relations is a priority for the Iranian foreign policy.

“We hope good relations with Cyprus [as the next EU president] will provide an opportunity to do away with some misunderstandings [between Iran and the EU] which are due to insignificant reasons,” Salehi added.

Earlier on Tuesday, Salehi met with Cypriot President Dimitris Christofias, noting that Cyprus will be the next president of the EU and this will be a good opportunity to remove misunderstandings between Iran and the EU.

He is also scheduled to meet with Cyprus’ minister of economic affairs and acting foreign minister, Vassos Shiarly, during his one-day visit to the Eastern Mediterranean country.
