Jalili wants trust building in Iran-P5+1 talks
Tehran, Jan 15, IRNA -- Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Saeed Jalili in an interview with a French language magazine called on the six major world powers known as the P5+1 to inspire trust during the upcoming multifaceted talks.
Jalili told Figaro that the West should seize the opportunity in the next round of comprehensive talks, due to begin on January 21 in the Turkish city of Istanbul, “to reclaim the Iranian nation's trust” and build confidence.
Referring to his recent meeting with European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, who represented the P5+1 in the Geneva talks, Jalili said, “In Geneva, we unequivocally agreed that the talks will focus on cooperation based on common grounds, and common grounds may include a range of subjects.”
The senior Iranian official emphasized Iran's commitment to the talks and expressed hope that the forthcoming negotiations would prove productive.
Jalili also emphasized that the West needed to clear the climate of mistrust after cold-shouldering the Tehran Declaration between Iran, Brazil and Turkey in May to facilitate Iran's timely access to nuclear fuel for its research reactor in Tehran.
Iranian, Turkish and Brazilian officials issued a joint declaration on May 17 after the West refused to provide objective guarantees for Iran to timely receive the fuel it requires for its medical reactor.
Under the declaration, Tehran expressed its readiness to exchange 1,200 kg of its low-enriched uranium on Turkish soil with 20-percent enriched nuclear fuel./end
