Iran is ready to transfer construction of five nuclear power plants to Japan, Iranian Parliamentary Foreign Policy And National Security Committee Chairman Alaeddin Boroujerdi said.
During his official Japan visit within the Iranian parliamentary delegation, he met with his  Japanese counterpart.

During the meeting, Boroujerdi said the Iranian parliamentarians think that Japan should take decisions on own interests independent from the U.S.

He noted that Japan may invest in various sectors of Iran, including in the transportation of goods, development of oil and gas and LNG projects.

He added that the Iranian government plans to produce 20,000 megawatts of nuclear electricity in the next 20 years and Japan may also invest in the construction of nuclear power plants in Iran.

According to him, nuclear power stations will be built to generate electricity and for the development of Iran.

"Iran does not have other goals for the construction of these stations," he said.' The claims of the United States and some Western countries to Iran regarding its nuclear program are unfounded."

The Iranian parliamentary delegation led by Speaker Ali Larijani launched a four-day official visit to Japan Feb.23.
