Iran to continue positive, transparent cooperation with IAEA

IRNA

New York, Sept 27, IRNA -- Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi said here 
Friday that Iran will continue its positive and transparent 
cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). 
Kharrazi made the remark during his separate meetings with his 
Tunisian, French and Spanish counterparts as well as European 
External Relations Commissioner Chris Patten on the sidelines 
of the 58th annual meeting of the UN General Assembly on Friday and 
Thursday evening. 
In a meeting between Patten and Kharrazi, the two sides discussed 
bilateral ties between Iran and the European Union, recent meeting of 
the IAEA`s board of governors in Vienna and ongoing developments in 
Iraq. 
"The Islamic Republic of Iran will continue its positive and 
transparent cooperation with the IAEA and is ready to strengthen 
working talks in order to promote trust and confidence," Kharrazi 
told his Spanish and French counterparts. 
"Iran has no plan to produce nuclear weapons and the country`s 
nuclear activities are for peaceful use," he added. 
He said recent resolution passed by the IAEA against Iran is an 
indication of politicization of the country`s peaceful nuclear 
activities and this negative trend rose the concerns. 
Kharrazi, in his meeting with his Tunisian counterpart Habib 
Ben Yahia, exchanged views on the Iraqi issue and the next summit of 
the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) in Malaysia. 
The Iranian minister and his entourage conferred here with the 
Iraqi delegation to the meeting on current developments in Iraq and 
the reconstruction of that country as well as issues regarding 
Iranian pilgrims and highlighted the need to accelerate the issue 
through participation of private sector.
