Iran wants commitments from Europe over nuclear energy cooperation
TEHRAN (AFP) Oct 31, 2004
Iran is to ask European countries for a timetable as well as concrete commitments over a future cooperation in nuclear energy if Tehran is to agree to a permanent halt to uranium enrichment, a foreign ministry spokesman said Sunday.Representatives from Germany, Britain and France are to meet Iranian officials on Friday in Paris to try to convince Tehran to renounce uranium enrichment and stave off the threat of being taken to the UN Security Council over its nuclear activities. "We are expecting from them a calendar of cooperation and we will insist on that point," foreign ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi told reporters.
