Tehran : Iran expects talks on its nuclear programme to begin within days, a senior Iranian official said in remarks published on Wednesday.
“Now the West has accepted to start negotiations with Iran and this is the best way,” Mohammad Saeedi said when asked about possible talks with European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana. “Our diplomacy is based on negotiations.”
Saeedi, deputy head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization, was quoted by Fars news agency as saying: “Talks will start in the next few days and at that time many issues will become clear.”
Solana is acting as envoy for six world powers which have offered Iran nuclear, trade and other incentives to coax it into halting sensitive nuclear activities, according to a report of Reuters.
