G-8 to continue efforts to find decisions on Iran nuclear program

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Moscow, Oct 19, Itar-Tass/ACSNA/IRNA -- Efforts of Russia and its 
Eight partners to find decisions on Iran`s nuclear program will be 
continued in the run-up to the November summit of Board of Governors 
of the International Atomic Energy (IAEA), the Russian Foreign 
Ministry`s official said. 
Commenting on the last week`s meeting of Group of Eight political 
directors in Washington, he said, "We shall work with our partners and
Iranian colleagues in order to come to reciprocally acceptable 
understanding with account for respective resolutions of the IAEA 
Board of Governors that contain, among other things, a call on Iran to
suspend as a trust measure the activity connected with enrichment or 
chemical reprocessing of nuclear materials." 
Russia `consistently advocates the lifting of all remaining 
issues regarding transparency and the character of Iran`s nuclear 
program by way of constructive interaction of Iran with the IAEA in 
favor of switching of the control activity of the agency to a normal, 
routine channel as soon as possible as it takes place in most of 
country members of the treaty on non-proliferation of nuclear 
weapons`, the ministry`s official said. 
The Group of Eight political directors held in Washington a 
`useful discussion on how to assist the goal that is laid down in the 
declaration of the `eight` passed during the summit on Sea Island`. 
The sides in particular discussed ways of lifting concerns over 
consequences of Iran`s nuclear program for non-proliferation and 
Tehran`s meeting all of its obligations under the treaty on 
non-proliferation of nuclear weapons and an agreement on security 
guarantees.
