Moscow says Iran, IAEA should continue cooperation

ISFAHAN, Iran. Oct 11 (Interfax-AVN) - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov confirmed Moscow's position regarding cooperation between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency.

"An exchange of opinions on Iran's nuclear program took place in Teheran. We have confirmed our position, stating that cooperating with the IAEA on these issues would be in Iran's interests," Lavrov told journalists in the Iranian city of Isfahan on Monday.

The IAEA board of governors accepted a resolution in September that calls on Iran to complete negotiations on remaining issues, Lavrov said.

"These issues do not cause much concern and should be closed in the near future," Lavrov said.
