Iran will sign a draft of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Additional Protocol next week, Iranian official sources said Wednesday.

British Secretary Jack Straw, German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer and French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin arrived in Tehran early Tuesday morning. They held a series of extensive talks with Iranian officials on continued cooperation between the Islamic republic and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

"The ministers, following extensive consultations, agreed on measures aimed at the settlement of all outstanding IAEA issues with regards to the Iranian nuclear program and enhancing confidence for peaceful cooperation in the nuclear field," said a joint statement issued after the talks.

Iran on Tuesday agreed to prove to the international community that it is not developing nuclear weapons, and promised to give "full cooperation" to the IAEA for strict inspections of its nuclearsites.

The Iranian authorities also agreed to suspend uranium enrichment, another demand made by the IAEA.
