Tehran : EU’s foreign policy chief handed Iran’s foreign minister a new “packet of incentives” Saturday from the world’s six nations to try and persuade Tehran to halt its controversial uranium enrichment program.
Javier Solana, who arrived in Tehran on Friday, met Manouchehr Mottaki for talks to give details of the proposal approved by the six nations – China, Russia, France, Germany, the United States, Britain.
Representatives from five of the six countries will also take part in the negotiations, the United States, Iran most fiercest critic, is absent after diplomatic relations were broken off in 1979.
Iran is currently under three sets of relatively mild UN Security Council sanctions for defying demands to halt uranium enrichment, which it says it needs purely for electricity generation despite Western accusations that the program is geared toward weapon production.
