Iran's chief nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani arrived in Madrid yesterday for talks with Spanish leaders set to focus on the crisis over its nuclear program, Spanish diplomats and reports said. Larijani was to meet with Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos as well as Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero. He was staying at the Ritz Hotel, where UN chief Kofi Annan has also taken a room during a trip to the Spanish capital, although UN and Spanish sources said the two men would not meet. Larijani's surprise visit came a day after talks on Iran's suspect nuclear program with EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana, tentatively set for Wednesday in Vienna, were postponed.

A Spanish news agency yesterday quoted Larijani as saying he would meet with the EU foreign policy chief in two days time "somewhere in Europe" without giving further details.
