Iran to attend Munich meeting, new focus on atomic row

Iran's Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki will attend Germany's Munich Security Conference which starts on Friday, the organizers said, putting the Islamic Republic's disputed nuclear program centre stage.

At the three-day annual event, top world politicians and diplomats will discuss security issues in the Middle East and elsewhere in a series of speeches and panel discussions, and some will hold informal talks with each other. (Reuters)
