Tehran, Iran, Sep. 27 – Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani has arrived in Berlin to hold talks with European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana over the Islamic Republic’s controversial nuclear program, the state-run news agency ISNA reported on Wednesday.

Western media had previously reported that Larijani and Solana would hold talks in Brussels on Wednesday.

The United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 1696 on July 31 demanding that Tehran suspend all its uranium enrichment activities by August 31 or face the threat of sanctions. Tehran missed that deadline.

The chief of the UN nuclear watchdog Mohammad ElBaradei reported on August 31 that Tehran had not suspended its uranium enrichment activities and had blocked IAEA inspectors from inspecting its nuclear facilities.
