In a meeting with Iranian new President Hassan Rouhani in Tehran last week, Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev voiced his countrys readiness to host the talks on Irans nuclear issue, according to the Kazakhstani presidential press service.
Nazarbayev paid an official visit to Tehran to partake in Rohanis swearing-in ceremony which was held on August 4 in the presence of delegations from over 50 countries and top Iranian officials.
On August 6, European Union (EU) foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton, expressed the world powers preparedness to engage in meaningful talks with Iran over Tehrans nuclear issue.
I write to tell you that, together with the P5+1, I stand ready to continue talks to find a resolution [to Iran nuclear issue] as quickly as possible," Ashton, who represents the six world powers in the comprehensive talks with Tehran, said in a letter to President Rouhani.
The letter comes on the same day that Rouhani expressed Tehrans readiness to enter into meaningful negotiations with the P5+1.
Iran and the P5+1 group have held several rounds of talks on a range of issues, with the main focus being on Irans nuclear energy program. The two sides wrapped up their latest round of negotiations on April 6 in the Kazakh city of Almaty. An earlier meeting had been held in Almaty on February 26-27.
The US, Israel and some of their allies falsely claim that Iran is pursuing non-civilian objectives in its nuclear energy program, with Washington and the European Union using the unfounded allegation as a pretext to impose illegal sanctions on Iran.
Tehran strongly rejects the groundless claim over its nuclear activities, maintaining that as a committed signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency, it has the right to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
