Tehran, July 4, IRNA
Iran-Larijani-Solana
Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Larijani said here Tuesday that Russian envoy is to join the talks with the European Union Foreign Policy Chief Javier Solana and EU troika on Iran's nuclear issue.
Speaking to reporters after his meeting with Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim al-Thani, he said, "We are seriously following up the negotiations and insisting on the removal of the existing ambiguities on the EU incentive package at the earliest opportunity."
Larijani refused to comment on the venue of the meeting with Solana.
China has declared that under no circumstances would it join nuclear talks between Iran and the European.
Asked by a reporter, Larijani said presence or absence of any country depends on its own stance since a country is entitled to make decision on the basis of its national interests.
"China has not made a firm expression on whether it would attend the meeting or not," Larijani underlined.
The Qatari foreign minister, for his part, said his meeting with Larijani followed the recent visit of the Qatari Emir to Tehran during which the two sides discussed expansion of ties in energy, oil, gas and foreign investment.
