Iran Press/ Europe: Acting Head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Cornel Feruta told journalists in Vienna there has been engagement from Tehran in recent weeks on questions relating to its nuclear safeguards declarations to the agency.
"That engagement doesn’t mean that the issues are completely addressed but it’s a step in the right direction," he added.
In his remarks to journalists, Feruta did not detail what the agency’s questions related to but said the IAEA was discussing substance with the Iranians.
At the beginning of September, Feruta had meetings with high-level officials in Tehran and subsequently urged Iran to respond promptly to the IAEA's questions, adding: "Time is of the essence."
On Friday, he said: "The IAEA had been having a very active dialogue with Iran at both technical and higher levels in the past few weeks."
Feruta met Iran's atomic energy agency chief Ali Akbar Salehi during the IAEA's General Conference in Vienna in late September, followed by meetings with Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and his deputy Abbas Araghchi during the UN General Assembly in New York.
