Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Mariano Grossi met Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Sunday.

Grossi arrived in Tehran on Saturday and was welcomed by�Spokesman for Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Behrouz Kamalvandi and Iran�s Representative in the International Atomic Energy Agency, Kazem Gharibabadi.

This is the second visit of Grossi to Iran since taking office as IAEA chief. The visit�comes amid a countdown to the deadline set by Iran slated for February�23 to end the voluntary implementation of Additional Protocol (AP).

In early September, Grossi had his�first visit to Tehran at the�invitation of senior�Iranian officials and in line with continuing Iran's cooperation and commitments as a member of this international body.

Iran nuclear chief Ali Akbar Salehi had already said that after Iran wrote a letter to the IAEA to inform it of the�Majlis�strategic�law�of�sanctions�removal, Grossi demanded to make a visit to Iran, and Iran agreed with it.

Earlier today, Gharibabadi said in a Twitter message that Iran and the IAEA �held fruitful discussions based on mutual respect.�

Gharibabadi added that the results of the negotiations �will be released this evening".
