UN chief to meet Iranian Supreme Leader and President

UN spokesman Martin Nesirky says United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon will hold talks with the leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad during his visit to Iran, Press TV reports.


Ban is scheduled to arrive in Iran on Wednesday to take part in the 16th Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement in Iran's capital, Tehran.

Nesirky said on Tuesday that the UN secretary-general will also hold talks with a number of Iranian lawmakers during his trip to Iran, but declined to comment on whether Ban will attend a session of Iran's Majlis as well.
