TEHRAN, October 17 (RIA Novosti) - The EU's foreign policy and security chief and Iran's top nuclear negotiator will hold talks on Tehran's controversial nuclear program in Europe October 23, an Iranian official said on Wednesday.

Talks between Javier Solana and Ali Larijani "will take place next Tuesday in one of Europe's capitals, most likely Vienna or Rome," Jawad Waidi, deputy secretary of the Islamic Republic's Supreme Security Council, told the Iranian Students' News Agency.

On August 21, Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) agreed on a plan to resolve, by the year end, all questions the watchdog agency has about Iran's nuclear program, which Western countries suspect of being designed to produce weapons but Iran says is aimed at generating energy.

The UN nuclear watchdog later confirmed Iran's experiments with plutonium were a closed issue.

Six negotiators on Iran - five permanent UN Security Council members and Germany - postponed September 28 a decision on further sanctions against Iran until late November when they expect reports from Solana and IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei
