EU recommends Iran to sign additional protocol to NPT, Solana says
IRNA
Tehran, August 30, IRNA -- The European Union (EU) foreign policy chief Cavier Solana said in Tehran on Saturday that the EU recommends Iran to sign the Additional Protocol to Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). He told reporters that the EU recommendation to Iran is "just like what a friend advises other friend to do". Asked whether the EU will honor its obligation envisaged in the charter of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to extend technological assitance to Iran to go ahead with its nuclear program, he said that for the time being there is no place for what to do next. "I hope Iranian leaders will heed an advice from a friend," Solana said in the joint press conference with Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi. "We are willing to deepen relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran," the EU foreign policy chief said. 215/212 End
