Iran-P5+1 talks to yield ‘good results’

“I believe that the negotiations will proceed in a better way in Moscow and will achieve good results,” Thomas Buchsbaum told ISNA on Wednesday.

He underlined the significance of confidence-building as a key factor in resolving issues and said evidence suggested that Iran and the P5+1 were taking measures to further boost the mutual confidence.

He also said Austria supports Iran’s right to peaceful nuclear technology, adding, however, that all issues pertaining to Tehran’s nuclear energy program need to be transparent and clear.

Iran and the P5+1 -Britain, China, France, Russia, and the United States plus Germany- wrapped up their last meeting in Baghdad on Thursday May 24 after two days of negotiations.

The Iranian negotiating delegation was headed by Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Jalili and the delegations of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany were headed by EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton.

Both sides agreed to hold another round of talks in Moscow on June 18-19.

In a telephone conversation with Jalili on Tuesday, Ashton said the P5+1 were ready to hold talks on Tehran’s 5-point proposal in the forthcoming negotiations with Iran.

Stressing the necessity of achieving success in the upcoming talks in the Russian capital, Ashton expressed hope that both sides could find common grounds based on Iran’s proposal and the P5+1 package.

Jalili, for his part, stressed the importance of respecting the agreements reached in the previous P5+1 talks in Baghdad and Istanbul.

He said that Iran will clarify its 5-point proposal in the Moscow talks, stressing that an appropriate response to Tehran’s proposition can bring about a progress in the talks.
