Iran, Kazakhstan Discuss IAEA Fuel Bank Cited in JCPOA

Salehi

Iran’s nuclear chief and Kazakh minister of energy in a meeting in Vienna discussed Iran’s sale of its excess enriched uranium to a fuel bank belonging to the IAEA in Kazakhstan and mentioned in a nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers.

Director of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Ali Akbar Salehi met Kazakh Minister of Energy Vladimir Shkolnik on the sidelines of the 59th Annual Regular Session of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) General Conference, held at the Vienna International Center (VIC) in Austria on Sunday.

Highlighting friendly ties between Tehran and Astana, Salehi and Shkolnik stressed the need for the expansion of relations in the energy field.

They also discussed the subject of an IAEA fuel bank that Iran can choose – under a comprehensive nuclear deal with 5+1- to sell its excess enriched uranium to.

According to the JCPOA, “All enriched uranium hexafluoride in excess of 300 kg of up to 3.67% enriched UF6 (or the equivalent in different chemical forms) will be down blended to natural uranium level or be sold on the international market and delivered to the international buyer in return for natural uranium delivered to Iran. Iran will enter into a commercial contract with an entity outside Iran for the purchase and transfer of its enriched uranium stockpile in excess of 300 kg UF6 in return for natural uranium delivered to Iran. The E3/EU+3 will facilitate, where applicable, the conclusion and implementation of this contract. Iran may choose to seek to sell excess enriched uranium to the IAEA fuel bank in Kazakhstan when the fuel bank becomes operational.”

Iran to make world’s largest carpet for Algeria Grand Mosque

Capet

Carpet weavers in the northeastern Iranian city of Neyshabour will weave a large carpet for the grand mosque of Algeria.

According to the website of the Islamic Culture and Relations Organization, the carpet will cover an area of 10,000 square meters.

A number of officials from Neyshabour, including the city’s MPs had previously suggested to Algerian Awqaf and Islamic Affairs Ministry that the mosque’s carpet be made by Neyshabour artisans.

Algerian officials have welcomed the idea and sent a letter to Iran via their ministry of foreign affairs, expressing willingness to host an Iranian delegation for final talks on the project.

Mohammadia Mega Mosque, whose construction began in 2012, is being built on a 218,525 square meter site in Algiers.

It will be the third largest mosque in the world after those of the holy cities of Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia.

The main attraction of the mosque will be a 265m-tall minaret.

The mosque complex comprises a multimedia library, the minaret, a research center, a meeting room, a prayer room that can accommodate nearly 35,000 people, a Quran school with residential facilities and a museum.

The world’s largest carpet at present is also an Iranian-made rug. It graces the main prayer hall of a mosque in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates.

Covering an area of 5,700 square meters, the four-piece rug was made in 21 months by more than 1,200 handpicked carpet weavers, 20 technicians, 30 designers, dyers and other skilled Iranian experts.

The production of the world’s largest handmade rug began in January 2006 by the Iran Carpet Company (ICC). The design work took six months, the weaving a year and the finishing work a further three months.

This large hand-made masterpiece has a unique design, featuring five big medallions depicting various traditional flower motifs. About 30 tons of wool and 15 tons of cotton were used in weaving the mammoth rug measuring 135×46 meters.

Iran keen to expand ties with Latin America: President Rouhani

Rouhani-Brazil

President Rouhani Sunday expressed Iran’s willingness to reinforce its relations with all Latin American countries, particularly Brazil.

Iran has always welcomed the development and deepening of its cooperation and good relations with Latin American countries, Rouhani said in a meeting with visiting Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira in Tehran.

Iran attaches special significance to the promotion of its amicable ties with Brazil as an effective country in South America with a progressive economy, he said, highlighting the important role Brazil has in maintaining stability and security in Latin America.

The president referred to various advancements both countries have achieved in the fields of industry, technology, and science, calling for all potential for closer interaction between Tehran and Brasilia to be tapped.

Rouhani pointed to the new opportunities created in Iran after the conclusion of the nuclear deal, saying, “Brazilian investors can take advantage of this opportunity and have a stronger presence in Iran and participate in major projects.”

Vieira, for his part, said his country is determined to have closer and stronger relations with Iran in economic and political fields, adding that the two sides have the potential to play complementary roles for each other’s economy.

He hailed Iran’s effective role in creating balance and stability in the region, saying Brasilia has always supported and acknowledged Tehran’s positive and historical engagement in regional and international developments.

Vieira also delivered a letter of invitation by Brazil’s President Dilma Rousseff for President Rouhani to pay an official visit to the South American country.

Bahrain government should settle internal crisis rather than blame others

Afkham

Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham said on Sunday that the Bahraini government had better settle its internal crisis through national reconciliation instead of putting the blame on others and making baseless allegations.

She rejected claims by the Bahraini foreign minister in an interview with Al-Sharq Al-Awsat newspaper.

Afkham recommended the Bahraini government set aside security and policing methods and solve national grievances through reconciliation.

The Bahraini government has gotten used to making unfounded allegations and putting the blame on others to cover up its internal problems, she said.

The event was organized in cooperation with the Iran-Finland Friendship Association and Tehran’s Municipality District Three. Finnish Ambassador to Iran Harri Kamarainen, Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and a number of other Iranian and Finnish officials were on hand for the ceremony.

At the start of the event, the head of the Iran-Finland Friendship Association said that the artwork by the Finnish sculptor was put up in the park when it was newly opened and added, “Golden Palm is a messenger of Finnish art and culture in Iran and represents cultural ties between Tehran and Helsinki. This can also help the two countries have closer relations.”

On the 90th anniversary of Iran-Finland ties, Araghchi said, “There is hope that the unveiling of the artwork under new circumstances created by the nuclear deal between Iran and P5+1, can prompt a huge leap in economic and cultural relations between the two nations.”

He added, “We hope that close relations between the two countries which lost momentum as a result of sanctions can be restored.”
