Iran has received new proposals from the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council plus Germany (5+1 Group) and will review them, a senior Iranian nuclear offcial said here Tuesday.
Larijani remarks were made after his two-hour "constructive and positive" talks with European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana.
Representatives of the five permanent members of the Security Council -- Russia, China, the United States, Britain and France -- plus Germany (5+1Group) met in Vienna, Austria on Thursday and approved a package of incentives for Iran in exchange for suspension of its nuclear activities.
"There is a need for further discussions and talks to reach a compromise on the package of proposals of the 5+1 Group for the Islamic Republic of Iran," Larijani said.
Solana, for his part, agreed with Larijani on the need to give Iran a period of time within which to study the proposals.
The EU foreign policy chief, who arrived in Tehran Monday evening, told reporters at Mehrabad International Airport upon his arrival that he hoped the incentive package would give parties to the nuclear issue the chance to start a "new relationship" based on trust confidence.
