Iranian minister in Moscow for tough Bushehr talks

Iran's foreign minister was likely to press Russia on Wednesday to complete construction of its Bushehr nuclear plant at talks that might be strained by Moscow's impatience with Tehran's nuclear ambitions.

Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki was due to meet Sergei Kiriyenko, chief of Russia's nuclear energy agency, whose subsidiaries are building Bushehr. Russian contractors have repeatedly set back the completion date for the power station on Persian Gulf, creating tension between Moscow and Tehran. (Reuters)
