Iran-Jalili-Castro
Special Presidential Envoy and Deputy Foreign Minister for European and American affairs, Saeed Jalili, in a meeting with the Cuban President Fidel Castro in Havana on Thursday said that Iranian nuclear nuclear program will not be deviated from
Non-Proliferation Treaty.
He said that Iran is fully cooperating with the UN nuclear watchdog and that it has voluntarily implemented the Additional Protocol to NPT.
Jalili noted that the Iranian nation is determined to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
For his part, Castro declared his support for Iran's status in this respect and said that the West intends to monopolize the nuclear energy to make others dependent on them.
"Once the oil resources are dried up, they would have such a monopoly. Therefore, they do not wish other countries to have access to nuclear energy," he added.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in his address to the World Summit in New York last September that Iranian nuclear program is transparent and open to inspection of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
"Cameras of the UN Agency are installed on all nuclear sites monitoring them. Iranian nuclear program is in line with Safeguards Agreement of the IAEA," he said.
