IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, Sept 27, IRNA -- Government spokesman Abdollah Ramezanzadeh here Monday said that Iran does not intend to quit the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Speaking to reporters at his weakly briefing, the spokesman added that despite the ongoing remarks, leaving NPT is not yet on the government`s agenda. Concerning the measures taken by the Presidential Committee on assessment of the government`s approach towards cinematographers and those launching Internet websites, he said that the committee`s relevant reports have not yet been examined by the cabinet. On Iran`s participation in the meeting to be held in support of Iraq`s future elections, he said that Iran fully approves of any measure towards free election in the neighboring country to expedite return of national sovereignty to the Iraqi people. "However, no decision has yet been made about attending such a meeting," he added. Turning to the changes made in the upcoming fourth development plan (2005-2010) by Majlis, he hoped that the government`s original draft on the issue will be maintained after the changes effected in it. "To materialize the economic growth rate of 8.6 percent as predicted in the fourth development plan, in addition to attracting domestic funds, foreign investment will also be required. "Given that the related bill has been arranged in line with a 20-year vision plan, the failure of the fourth development plan will face us with great difficulties," he added. Ramezanzadeh referred to the illegal gathering of a selected number of individuals on Sunday night and said that the police took proper measures. Terming it as an insignificant move, he said that those intending to enter into political activities should act within the framework of national laws. 2326/1412
