Iran has been criticised by the international community for its announcement that it will resume with its nuclear programme.
The country is being accused by world leaders of being involved in uranium enrichment for the purpose of building nuclear weapons. But Iranian authorities have denied this, saying its nuclear programme was aimed solely at energy creation rather than the manufacture of nuclear weapons.

Other issues to be discussed yesterday included political developments within Africa and the Middle East as well as any "other multilateral issues of mutual interest to both countries".
Mostafavi is also expected to hold discussions with Acting Foreign Minister Jeff Radebe.
