MUNICH, Germany Feb 6 (Reuters) - Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said on Saturday he had a "very good meeting" with the head of the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog on a plan to swap Iran's low-enriched uranium for higher-grade nuclear fuel.

"I had a very good meeting today with Mr. (Yukiya) Amano, Director-General of the IAEA. We discussed and exchanged views on a wide range of issues -- views about the proposal that is on the table," Mottaki told a news conference at an annual security conference in Munich.

"I tried to explain the views of the Islamic Republic of Iran for the Director-General," Mottaki said, referring to their discussion on the plan under which the nuclear fuel received in exchange for Iran's low-enriched uranium would be used in a Tehran reactor making medical isotopes.
