Iran to resume nuclear talks with EU
Iran’s top nuclear negotiator will meet European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana later today in a European capital, Iranian state television reported.
Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki was quoted as saying negotiator Ali Larijani would meet Solana today, but did not elaborate.
Solana’s office in Brussels could not immediately confirm the meeting.
Mottaki spoke to state TV before leaving New York late yesterday, where he attended the UN General Assembly. He arrived back in Iran early today.
Solana and Larijani have been scheduled to hold another round of talks over a package of incentives put forward by Britain, France, Germany, the United States, China and Russia.
The six nations want Tehran to suspend its uranium enrichment programme and return to full-scale negotiations.
Iran missed an August 31 Security Council deadline over the issue. The six are considering UN sanctions if Tehran does not comply.
