Tehran: A top UN nuclear inspector arrived in Iran on Monday for a second round of talks on improving cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, the official IRNA news agency reported.
IAEA deputy director in charge of inspections Olli Heinonen travelled to Iran to continue the previous talks.
Heinonen was in Iran earlier this month asking Tehran to provide more information about its missile-related activities.
"Heinonen has travelled to Tehran to continue previous talks about the trend of cooperation between Iran and the agency," IRNA said.
His trip to Iran comes as the Islamic Republic test-fired a rocket to carry a research satellite into space, the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reported.
