Progress in Moscow Talks Depends on Mutual Trust Building: Salehi
Local Editor
Iran's Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi said the progress in the upcoming round of negotiations between Iran and the P5+1 group in Moscow depends on the establishment of mutual trust and the adoption of ‘wise' policies.
During a meeting with the visiting former president of the Austrian National Council, Werner Fasslabend, in Tehran on Sunday, Salehi voiced hope that Iran-P5+1 talks in the Russian capital would proceed in an atmosphere of mutual trust, goodwill and wise policies between both parties.
Salehi elaborated on Tehran's principled, transparent and clear policy on its inalienable right to enjoy nuclear energy for civilian purposes, while being committed to international rules and regulations.
The FM further pointed to the fatwa (religious decree) issued by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei against nuclear weapons, stressing that Tehran and the P5+1 can settle matters in a way that guarantees the rights of the Iranian nation.
Imam Khamenei, in his fatwa, described the proliferation of nuclear weapons as "senseless, destructive and dangerous," adding that the Iranian nation has never sought and will never seek atomic bombs as the country already has the conventional capacity to challenge the nuclear-backed powers.
Iran and the six world powers wrapped up their latest talks in Baghdad on May 24 after two days of negotiations.
Iran and the P5+1 have agreed to hold another round of talks in Moscow on June 18 and 19.
