"The MFA Salutes the Availability of the USA to Associate
itself
with the EU-3 in Dialogue with Iran"
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs salutes the availability of
the USA, as expressed by Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice
on May 31, 2006, to associate itself with the EU-3 (Great
Britain, France, Germany) in dialogue with Iran, to bring
to an end the present impasse on negotiations on nuclear
matters.
The MFA expresses the hope that the Iranian authorities
will analyze in a constructive manner this proposal and
will give a positive response. The MFA considers that the
new proposed formula could offer a real perspective to
create a propitious framework which would lead to a
definitive solution, through diplomatic channels, to these
issues.
