TEHRAN — Iran's official news agency says the country's top nuclear negotiator will meet European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana next week to address Tehran's disputed nuclear program.

The report says Saeed Jalili will go to Brussels to meet with Solana on July 19. Their talks will focus on a package of economic and technological incentives presented to Iran by permanent members of the United Nations Security Council plus Germany.

Last week, Iran responded to the European Union but indicated that it has no plans to stop enriching uranium — a key Western demand. The process can be used to generate electricity or build nuclear weapons.

European officials have said they are studying the Iranian response, and consulting with the United States, Russia and China on what to do next.
