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.
