Fischer reaffirms need for "objective guarantees" on Iran`s nuclear program

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Berlin, Feb 25, IRNA -- German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer here 
Friday reiterated the need for "objective guarantees" on peaceful 
nature of the Iranian nuclear program following talks with the 
Secretary of Iran`s Supreme National Security Council Hassan Rowhani. 
"Our goal is to remove international concerns about Iran`s nuclear
program and the main issue is objective guarantees which ensure Iran`s
nuclear program is mainly for peaceful purposes," Fischer said during 
a joint news conference with Rowhani at the foreign ministry. 
"To achieve such a thing, won`t be easy. It is a difficult 
challenge, but I think the goal is worth it. Hence we should attempt 
everything to reach such objective guarantees, in an effort to achieve
such an agreement," added Fischer. 
The German minister made clear a final nuclear agreement would 
lead to "deepening ties in economic, technological and also political 
sphere". 
Germany, France and Britain are engaged in sensitive political and
nuclear negotiations with Iran on a long-term political accord. 
Rowhani, accompanied by Iran`s nuclear negotiation team, comprised
of Sirus Nasseri, Hossein Moussavian and Amir Zamaninia, was also due 
to meet later in the day with German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder.
