  • Nuclear

Related Country: 

  • Germany
  • United Kingdom
Q - Can you confirm that France, Germany and Britain are going to resume discussions with Iran this week about its nuclear program? If so, under what conditions and to what purpose will the discussions be taking place?
 
The three ministers, German, British and French, recently had occasion to underline their resolve to maintain dialogue with the Iranian government on the basis of the October 21, 2003 agreement. So it is in that context that discussions continue with the Iranian authorities, with a view to providing all the guarantees on the peaceful nature of the Iranian nuclear program. I've no further comment at this stage.
