Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad left for Uganda last night, Ilna reported.
During his three-day visit to Africa, Ahmadinejad first visited Zimbabwe.
He will discuss Iran's nuclear program in Uganda. Presently, Uganda is the UN Security Council's temporary member.
The U.S. and other Western countries accuse Iran of developing nuclear weapons for military purposes under the guise of peaceful nuclear energy program. Tehran denies the charges, saying that its nuclear program is aimed solely at meeting the country's electricity needs. The U.N. Security Council adopted five resolutions in connection with the suspension of Iran's nuclear program. Three involve the use of economic sanctions on Iran.
Presently, the UN Security Council mulls issue of imposing new sanction on Iran.
