Iran-Kharrazi-EU
Iran's Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi on Friday called the Wednesday Iran-EU3 Paris talks "hard and serious".
Speaking on sidelines of a tour to Bushehr nuclear power plant, Kharrazi said the ideas Iran raised in the steering committee meeting had paved the way for technical negotiations between the two sides in future.
Kharrazi urged the European parties to prove their seriousness in the talks so as to reach concrete results for extension of the objective guarantees.
Appreciating Iranian and non-Iranian technicians as well as the management of the project for Bushehr nuclear power plant, Kharrazi said that would be the first step to use nuclear energy for meeting domestic electricity shortage.
Kharrazi said that definitely, the power plant would raise the Islamic Republic's technical and technological potential to benefit from the nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
The Minister expressed hope that the Russian side would commission and deliver the plant based on the schedule to which it is committed.
Kharrazi concluded that timely implementation of the project could pave the way for further expansion of mutual cooperation in construction of more powerplants.
