A senior Iranian official says Iran and China will resume negotiations on ways to modernize the Arak heavy water reactor.
Spokesman of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Behrouz Kamalvandi said on Monday that technical and legal experts of the body would hold talks with Chinese nuclear officials in Vienna later in the day, ISNA reported.
He added that the new round of the negotiations would be held as a follow-up to talks previously held between Iranian and Chinese delegations.
In August 2015, head of the AEOI, Ali Akbar Salehi, paid a visit to the Chinese capital of Beijing and discussed the setting up of a working group to redesign the Arak heavy water reactor.
