Tehran hopes to resolve with Moscow the issue of debt for the Bushehr nuclear power plant, Iranian Ambassador to Moscow Kazem Jalali said.
“As for Iran’s debt on the nuclear power plant, we are negotiating with our Russian colleagues and will certainly come to a solution to this issue,” the ambassador said during an event organized by the Public Diplomacy Support Fund. Gorchakov.
The construction of power units at the Bushehr NPP is considered the largest Russian-Iranian project. The first block of the nuclear power plant, completed with the participation of the Russian Federation, was connected to the national power system of Iran in September 2011. Russia supplies Iran with the nuclear fuel required for the operation of the reactor of the first unit. The Russian Embassy in Iran on April 29, 2020 last reported the delivery of a fresh consignment of fuel to Iran.
