Baku-APA. Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Yukiya Amano on Monday urged Iran to fully implement practical measures agreed upon under the framework for cooperation with his organization in a timely manner. Iran and IAEA signed a framework of cooperation in November 2013 in which Iran is expected to resolve all the past and present issues with IAEA, APA reports quoting Xinhua.
"Iran has implemented most of the practical measures agreed under the framework, but not all of them," said Amano at a meeting of the United Nations General Assembly's 69th regular session.
He said IAEA cannot conclude that all nuclear materials in Iran is for peaceful purpose so far, since the agency is still working to verify the non-diversion of nuclear material declared by Iran under its safeguards agreement.
"However, we are unable to provide credible assurance about the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities," he added.
Noting there have been important developments concerning safeguards for implementation, Amano asked Iran to step up their cooperation by proposing new practical measures in resolving all outstanding issues.
The IAEA safeguards agreement, which is observed by more than 180 states worldwide, is a system of inspection and verification of the peaceful uses of nuclear materials as part of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
