Iran, Hungary agree to cooperate in nuclear tech

Xinhua, April 8, 2017 Adjust font size:

Iran and Hungary signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) here on Saturday to cooperate in nuclear technology, Tehran Times daily reported.

The agreement was inked during a meeting between Ali Akbar Salehi, head of Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, and Hungarian Deputy Prime Minister Zsolt Semjen, the report said without further details.

Salehi hailed the agreement, hoping that the two countries will increase cooperation in the future.

Semjen said the relations between Tehran and Budapest are expanding, as they are involved in talks over expansion of relations in other fields such as tourism.

In February 2016, Salehi said Iran was considering a plan to design a 25-megawatt reactor for Hungary. Endit
