LONDON, October 6 (RIA Novosti) - The Iran Six has a chance to agree on measures preventing the transfer of dual-use technologies to Iran, Russia's foreign minister said Friday.

Some countries suspect Iran of pursuing a covert weapons program, though Tehran has consistently denied the allegation saying it needs nuclear energy for electricity.

"We do not want Iran to obtain access to sensitive dual-use technologies," Sergei Lavrov said upon his arrival in the British capital for a meeting with his counterparts from the other permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany.

Lavrov said he was talking about sensitive technologies relating to the nuclear-fuel cycle.

The issue is one of particular concern for Russia because it is helping build a nuclear power plant in southern Iran.
