“We’ve been having a long day of discussions, talks, and negotiations” with Iranian officials, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Axar.az reports citing foreign media that Rafael Grossi told Press TV on Tuesday.

The United Nations nuclear watchdog’s chief met with Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Mohammad Eslami during his stay so far.

“We have an important number of issues we need to discuss at the technical level and we have been dealing with those,” Grossi said.

He said he was paying the visit after the two sides agreed during a trip by Grossi to Tehran in September that he should travel to the country soon to sit down with officials from Iran’s new administration.
