Kenya Supports 'Tehran Declaration' on N. Fuel Swap

TEHRAN (FNA)- Kenyan Vice-President Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka on Wednesday voiced his country's support for the 'Tehran Declaration' issued by Iran, Turkey and Brazil on the swap of nuclear fuel for the Tehranresearch reactor.

During a meeting with Iranian First Vice-President Mohammad Reza Rahimi here in Tehran today, Musyoka described the Tehran Declaration as successful, and stressed that his country always supports Iran in regards to its peaceful nuclear activities.

According to a draft proposal agreed and endorsed by Iranian, Brazilian and Turkish officials, Iran will send some 1200 kg of its 3.5 percent enriched uranium to Turkey in exchange for a total 120 kg of 20 percent enriched fuel.

Based on the Tehran agreement, the fuel swap will take place nearly a month after receiving an official approval from the Vienna Group, which consists of representatives from France, Russia, the US and the IAEA.

Rahimi, for his part, said that the Islamic Republic of Iran's major policy is to expand ties with the African states including Kenya.

The Iranian government is determined to institutionalize promotion of relations with the African countries, the Iranian first vice-president said.

Rahimi further said there is no hindrance to fostering the Tehran-Nairobi cooperation, adding Iran is ready to share its scientific, technological, industrial and medical experiences with Kenya.
