NIAMEY, Niger — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad visited the uranium-rich West African nation of Niger on Tuesday, although officials discounted that the mineral was the reason for his visit.

Niger’s President Mahamadou Issoufou denied international speculation that Iran had come in search of uranium for its enrichment program, which Western powers suspect might aim to produce nuclear weapons.

“We have not brought up the question of Nigerien uranium. Iran itself being a producer of minerals,” Issoufou said.

Niger’s Foreign Affairs Minister Mohamed Bazoum added that Niger obeys international regulations on selling uranium, and it would not be legal to provide it to Iran.

The two-day stop in Niger is the second on Ahmadinejad’s trip to West Africa. He already has visited Benin and is due to visit Ghana before returning home.
