Kharrazi, Patten discuss Iran-IAEA cooperation

IRNA

Tehran, Nov 12 IRNA -- Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi in a telephone 
conversation with European Commission`s Foreign Relations chief Chris 
Patten on Wednesday explained the steps Iran has taken to develop 
cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). 
Kharrazi said that Iran announced its decision to sign the 
additional protocol to non-proliferation treaty (NPT) and voluntarily 
suspended uranium enrichment to help prepare the ground for boosting 
Iran-IAEA cooperation. 
He said that IAEA Chief Mohamed ElBaradei`s report on Iran`s 
nuclear program indicated Iran`s transparent cooperation with the 
agency. 
"The European Union is expected to adopt an accurate policy and 
take positively practical steps to help foster Iran-IAEA cooperation,"
Kharrazi said. 
Patten appreciated Iran`s wise initiatives and said that Iran 
managed to attract the confidence of the international community 
toward national nuclear program. 
"A new atmosphere has been created in Iran-EU relations. I hope 
bilateral cooperation will develop in all fields," Patten said.
