Germany welcomes IAEA resolution on Iran`s nuclear programme

IRNA

Berlin, Nov 26, IRNA -- The German government hailed Wednesday the 
latest International Atomic Energy Agency`s (IAEA) resolution on 
Iran`s nuclear programme, calling it an "important step". 
"We welcome this resolution as an important step," German Foreign 
Ministry spokesman Walter Lindner told IRNA, while referring to 
his country`s role in passing a "consensus resolution". 
Lindner pointed out that US Secretary of State Colin Powell had 
specifically thanked Germany, France and Britain for mediating in the 
nuclear dispute with Iran. 
The 35-member council of IAEA governors unanimously passed 
Wednesday the resolution on Iran`s nuclear programme following days of
lengthy and intensive negotiations between Europe and the United 
States. 
Tehran has consented to voluntarily suspend its uranium 
enrichment programme and sign the additional nuclear safeguards 
protocol, while in exchange Europe agreed to provide Iran with modern 
civilian nuclear technology.
