18-06-2012

EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Catherine Ashton has called Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to thank his government for hosting the latest round of talks between the E3+3 and Iran on the Iranian nuclear issue in Moscow.
 
A statement issued yesterday by her spokesperson said the High Representative and Minister Lavrov had agreed it was “vital to move the talks forward to reassure the international community of the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear programme.”
 
They voiced hope that in Moscow, Iran would engage seriously on the package of confidence-building proposals tabled by the E3+3 in Baghdad.
 
“The E3+3 remains committed to serious negotiations based on a step-by-step approach and reciprocity, leading to a final agreement on the Iranian nuclear issue,”  the statement said. (EU Neighbourhood Info)
