Iran deputy foreign minister for legal and international affairs says the unprecedented ministerial talks between Tehran and the six world powers show a new will is emerging on both sides to resolve the nuclear dispute.
Today, a new round of talks between Iran and the P5+1 group will start in a ministerial meeting between Iran and the P5+1 member states, Abbas Araqchi said on Thursday, ahead of Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif's meeting with his counterparts from Britain, China, France, Russia, the United States, and Germany.

Araqchi added that the event - the first round of ministerial-level talks over Iran's nuclear energy program - is the start of a new trend in negotiations between the two sides.
"What is certain is that there is a new will emerging both in Iran and among the P5+1 states to successfully conclude the new round of talks with a new approach, he said.
Araqchi, who is also a member of Iran's nuclear negotiating team, stated that the Islamic Republic will not reverse its basic policy regarding its nuclear energy program and will continue to pursue its nuclear rights under international laws.

He stressed that the Iranian side is not seeking negotiations for the sake of negotiations but is determined to reach a framework to facilitate future steps toward mutual understanding.

The United States, Israel and some of their allies have repeatedly accused Iran of pursuing non-civilian objectives in its nuclear energy program, with the US and European Union using the claim as an excuse to impose illegal sanctions against Tehran.

Iran has categorically rejected the allegation, stressing that as a committed member of the International Atomic Energy Agency and a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty, it is entitled to develop nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.

In addition, the IAEA has conducted numerous inspections of Iran's nuclear facilities but has never found any evidence showing that the Iranian nuclear program has been diverted toward military objectives.
