Soltanieh: Board meeting ends without any resolution on Iran

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Vienna, Sept 17, IRNA -- Iran’s IAEA envoy Ali-Asghar Soltanieh said here on Friday that the IAEA Board session ended without issuing any resolution on Iran nuclear issue.

The periodic session of the IAEA Board of Governors started here on Monday and ended on Friday after five days of work.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with IRNA, Soltanieh said the NAM states had in the meeting issued a very important and historical statement, underlining correction of the process of report submission and professional and unbiased dealing with issues by the IAEA director general and the secretariat.

Soltanieh noted that in the meeting there were speeches, debates and arguments by representatives of developing states, including Iran’s envoy and director general of the IAEA on important issues of the Agency.

In fact a new chapter began in making the secretariat and director general know that they are accountable for issues of the member states, he added.

Inclusion of a paragraph in the Agency’s agenda and hours of debate at the Board meeting on Zionist regime’s nuclear threat were among other features of the gathering, said Iranian envoy.

He said the Zionist regime’s envoy and his few supporters were not able to answer to right protests and concerns of the NAM states and they only could refer to Iran’s nuclear issue and that when the debates came to a close so as to divert the debates.
