TEHRAN (ISNA)- Iranian President Hassan Rouhani reiterated that win-win approach could help reaching a final agreement on Iranian nuclear issue.
'The Islamic Republic of Iran is against atomic weapons based on its defense doctrine and moral and religious principles. However, it believes that peaceful use of nuclear technology is its own right and right of all countries,' he noted in his speech in CICA summit in China.
'Iran believes that win-win approach without excesses and threat, could lead to final agreement on Iranian nuclear issue in a way which guarantees Iranian nuclear rights and eases legitimate concerns of the other side.'
He also stressed cooperation of CICA members to annihilate weapons of mass destruction to provide peace and security.
'It is necessary that CICA members cooperate more to establish the role of Asia for reaching a world free of nuclear weapons,' he said.
CICA groups 24 countries, among them Afghanistan, Azerbaijan Republic, China, Egypt, India, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Russia, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates.
Nine countries and four international organizations, including the United Nations, have observer status.
The CICA summit is convened every four years in order to conduct consultations, review the progress of the forum and set priorities for its activities.
