Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said Saturday Iran will try to reach a comprehensive understanding with Group 5+1 on its nuclear case.
"Iran will strive to adopt measures to reach a comprehensive understanding which would take into consideration the inalienable interests of one side and remove concerns of the other," he said.
Mottaki made the statement while speaking to reporters in a joint press conference with his Palestinian counterpart Mahmoud al-Zahar.
The European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana on June 6 presented a new package of incentives and penalties to Iran which has been approved by representatives of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council -- Russia, China, Britain, France and the United States -- plus Germany in exchange for Tehran's suspension of enrichment work.
Mottaki said, "The proposed package has been opened. We will review proposals of the Group 5+1 and then announce the results to the European side officially.
"We will inform the (Iranian) nation of the content of the Europe's proposals at the earliest."
The Iranian foreign minister expressed hope, "The shuttle diplomacy will lead to Europe's precise study of a genuine proposal by the Islamic Republic of Iran that could possibly be sent to the European side as an amendment or a counter-package.
"We support fair talks, with no preconditions and discrimination, which may lead to a comprehensive understanding," he added.
He declined to comment on a question whether Europe's proposals included suspension of enrichment work saying, "Since we have not announced the content of the package, we cannot talk about its details."
