After a meeting with Director General of the World Nuclear Association Agneta Rising on Friday, Salehi told IRNA that he had good talks with her.

He also said that he invited Rising to visit Tehran and proposed establishment of a technical committee for evaluating small power plants during the meeting.

Rising welcomed the proposals and accepted establishment of a technical group and making an all-out evaluation of small power plants, Salehi said.

Salehi also proposed introducing two good Iranian universities to the entity so that it will exchange nuclear experience with the association's virtual university and other universities worldwide, he said, noting that this proposal was also accepted by her.

The official also said that he proposed establishment of a working committee comprising technical and political experts to discuss contents of JCPOA off and then and discuss practical steps to that effect.

'We feel that the association is a suitable forum to monitor implementation of the JCPOA,' he said.

'I made four proposals which were accepted by Rising,' he said, hoping that all of them will be pursued seriously.

Asked when the proposals will be fulfilled, Salehi said, 'I think director general and her colleagues will visit Tehran at the earliest and next steps will be taken subsequently.'
