Iranian Vice-President and Head of the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI), Mohammad Eslami, meets with Alexey Likhachev, Head of the Russian State-Company Rosatom, to discuss the latest developments in issues of common interest in the field of nuclear energy, as well as cooperation between the two countries.

The meeting took place in the presence of the Iranian Ambassador to Moscow, Kazem Jalali.

The two sides stressed strategic relations and cooperation between the two countries on various levels, announcing plans to pursue cooperation on peaceful nuclear energy more quickly. 

AEOI Head maintained that cooperation between the two countries regarding peaceful nuclear activities, including the establishment and development of nuclear plants, is moving forward. 

Eslami expressed hopes that the two sides would work together to speed up and enhance cooperation. On his part, Likhachev welcomed consecrating the two countries' bilateral relations, especially concerning peaceful nuclear energy.

It is worth noting that Eslami had arrived in Moscow on Tuesday to hold talks with Likhachev.

Iran calls for global denuclearization

In a related context, the Head of the Legal and International Department of the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Reza Najafi, affirmed that the Islamic Republic of Iran strongly rejects the preservation, stockpiling, development, and proliferation of nuclear weapons at the regional and global levels, calling for global nuclear disarmament.

Najafi said in his speech on Tuesday, during the United Nations General Assembly session on the occasion of the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons, that achieving global nuclear disarmament and eliminating the threat of the use of these weapons is a legal, political, and moral responsibility of all governments, particularly nuclear powers. 

Najafi stressed the importance of implementing the 1995 Middle East Resolution of the NPT Review Conference, considering that the Israeli nuclear weapon constitutes a threat to peace and security in this region and beyond, which prevents the Middle East from becoming nuclear-free.
