Iran, EU discuss major powers’ nuclear talks offer

By SPA,

Brussels : Iran’s nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili and European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana discussed an offer from major powers on Tehran’s nuclear programme on Monday, a European Union official said.

“During the (phone) conversation, the freeze-for-freeze issue will not be discussed. Like the last talks (in Geneva), they will only discuss the common points of the two packages,” the senior Iranian official told Reuters.

“Mr Solana will be in touch with the authorities of China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States,” the EU official said.

Solana has held exploratory talks with Tehran on behalf of the six major powers. He and Jalili met in Geneva last month .

Iranian state radio said that in the phone call, the two men had “emphasised continuing the course of the Geneva talks. The preservation of this course requires a constructive and positive environment”.

It said they agreed to consult again with each other in the coming days and to continue their contacts.
