MOSCOW, Nov. 2 (Xinhua) -- Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and his visiting British counterpart David Miliband on Monday both urged an answer from Tehran to the proposal by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on the enrichment of uranium aboard.

    "All the interested sides (Russia, the United States, France and Iran) met under IAEA auspices. The meeting resulted in a draft document that was compiled by the agency leadership and which as we expect will be approved by all sides without exception, including Iran," the Interfax news agency quoted Lavrov as telling a press conference.

    Miliband, who was on a two-day visit to Moscow, also urged a prompt response from Iran at the press conference after meeting with Lavrov.

    The IAEA proposal suggested shipping most of Iran's existing low-grade enriched uranium to Russia and France where it would be processed into fuel rods with a purity of 20 percent.

    The higher-level enriched uranium would be transported back to Iran to be used in a research reactor in Tehran for the manufacture of medical radioisotopes.

    Iran has sent an oral indication to IAEA asking for amendment of the draft agreement. The details of the amendment have not been published yet.
