Kharrazi stresses transparency of Iran`s nuclear program
IRNA
Tokyo, Nov 14, IRNA -- Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi stressed here Friday the transparency of Iran`s nuclear program and the country`s cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Kharrazi, who arrived here Thursday night on a two-day visit, made the comment as he talked to reporters after his meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi. "Iran is determined for full transparency and has referred to all the country`s nuclear activities in its report submitted to the IAEA which was even beyond what had been expected," he said. Kharrazi added that IAEA Chief Mohamed ElBaradei has also stressed there is no evidence to substantiate that Iran produces nuclear bombs. He said the IAEA inspectors can continue inspections based on the protocol to which Iran is a signatory and before the approval of the additional protocol to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) by Majlis. He termed his talks with the Japanese prime minister as "good" and said the two sides discussed bilateral ties, regional issues, developments in Iraq and Iran`s nuclear program. Kharrazi voiced Tehran`s readiness to cooperate with Tokyo regarding reconstruction of Iraq. SF/216 End
