Following his phone conversations with Russian foreign minister and U.S. state secretary, Davutoglu briefed Yang about the details of Iran's uranium swap deal.

Davutoglu told Yang that positive approach towards the issue would be essential for solution of the problem as well as the success of the process.

Meanwhile, Davutoglu and Brazil's foreign minister are expected to write a joint letter and send it to UN Security Council members.

Foreign ministers of Turkey, Iran and Brazil signed a deal on Monday where Iran committed to give the 1200kg of 3.5% enriched uranium to Turkey in exchange for 20% enriched uranium it will receive from Western countries to be used as fuel in the nuclear research reactor in Tehran. Tehran will receive the enriched uranium from the Vienna Group, comprising of the U.S., France, Russia and International Atomic Energy Agency, in Turkey.
