0910 GMT: The most significant news on Tuesday evening may have been the development that Iranian officials will again meet with the International Atomic Energy Agency, hoping to resolve "outstanding issues" over the Islamic Republic's nuclear programme; however, the most exciting announcement was that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will be coming to Tehran for the Non-Aligned Movement's summit on 30-31 August.
There is a possible complication: the story, which was the headline on Press TV before the confirmation of the meeting with the IAEA on Friday in Vienna, has now disappeared from the website. However, Fars News English is still putting out the report:
Mohammad Reza Forqani, the spokesman of the NAM summit, said on Tuesday that Kim will make his first foreign visit --- since his appointment as the leader of Democratic People's Republic of Korea --- to Tehran.
Iran and North Korea have always had close relations, and the visit by the North Korean leader shows the two countries' willingness to strengthen their interactions, Forqani told Tabnak news website.Posted via email from lissping
