President Rouhani: Irans political determination clear in Geneva talks

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, Oct 19, IRNA -- President Hassan Rouhani said Saturday that Tehrans political determination to play a win-win game in nuclear talks with the West has become clear during latest talks held between Iran and the Group 5+1 in Geneva, Switzerland.

The two-day talks were held by representatives from Iran and their counterparts from the US, Britain, France, China and Russia plus Germany on October 15-16.

President Rouhanis remarks were made during a meeting here with new Ambassador of Switzerland to Iran Giulio Haas who submitted his credentials to the Iranian president.

President Rouhani stressed the need for focusing on a win-win game at the international relations as a win-lose approach would no longer lead to a useful result in the present world, he said.

I believe during the Geneva talks, Irans political determination has become clear for all parties, said the President referring to the talks which ended on October 16 in Geneva, Switzerland.

President Rouhani said the government of Switzerland has the potentials to act more than just a host country in Iran nuclear talks with the West and could take necessary measures to help further develop the talks between the two sides.

Referring to Switzerland as a country that represents US in Iran, President Rouhani expressed hope that the new ambassador would convey Irans good-will to the American side.

Meanwhile, Haas, for his part, said that Bern would use all within its reach to help Tehran.

He also appreciated Iranian authorities for choosing Switzerland as the venue for the nuclear talks between representatives of Iran and those from the US, Britain, Russia, France and China plus Germany.

Pointing to the 140 years of Tehran-Bern relations, the ambassador expressed hope that mutual ties could be further expanded in his term, particularly in the field of economy.
