TEHRAN (FNA)- Head of the Iranian Parliament's Research Center Kazzem Jalali in a meeting with the Vice-Speaker of South Korea's National Assembly in Seoul on Sunday underlined that Iran is looking for a win-win result in its ongoing nuclear talks with the six major world powers (the US, Russia, China, France, Britain and Germany).
"We hope that the ongoing nuclear negotiations between Iran and the Group 5+1 (the five permanent UN Security Council members plus Germany) will end with a win-win result," Jalali said during the meeting.

He reiterated that Iran has done its utmost efforts to reach a result favorable to both sides, and added, "The western countries should recognize Iran's nuclear rights."

Jalali, meantime, pointed to the high capacities of the two countries' parliaments for widening their bilateral ties, and said, "The Iran-South Korea Parliamentary ties have always been witnessing a growing trend and the two countries have good cooperation in parliamentary fields."

The South Korean vice-speaker, for his part, referred to the high volume of trade exchanges between the two countries, and expressed the hope that the western sanctions against Iran would be lifted soon.

On Saturday, Jalali and his South Korean counterpart Hyun Wook Koh in a meeting in Seoul underlined the need to expand ties and cooperation between the two research bodies.

During the meeting in the South Korean capital today, Jalali and Hyun called for boosting mutual cooperation in parliamentary research.

Jalali pointed to a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between the Iranian and South Korean parliaments in June, and said, "Despite the development of ties between the Iranian and South Korean legislatures in recent years, there is a need to further increase cooperation between the two countries' research centers in a bid to share their experiences in research areas."

Hyun, for his part, voiced pleasure in continued research cooperation between the two countries' research centers, and assured his Iranian counterpart that he would do his best to implement the contents of the MoUs signed between the two research centers. In June, the research centers of the Iranian and South Korean parliaments in a ceremony signed an MoU in Tehran to boost mutual cooperation.

Addressing the ceremony at the time, Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani expressed the hope that the MoU could lead to the development of cooperation between Iran and South Korea.

"Today, different issues, including international problems, influence the domestic situation of countries and research cooperation can be effective in their settlement," the Iranian parliament speaker said.

Late in January, Larijani and his South Korean counterpart Kang Chang-hee, in a meeting in Tehran, voiced their capitals' willingness to open new avenues for expansion of their bilateral relations in all spheres.

The volume of non-oil trade transactions between Iran and South Korea stood at $6.2 billion in 2012.

The 10th and last round of negotiations between Iran and six world powers is now underway in Vienna as the seven nations have only two more days to work on a final deal.

The 9th round of talks between Iran and the Group 5+1 (the US, Russia, China, Britain and France plus Germany) included two days of trilateral talks among Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, US Secretary of State John Kerry and EU's Chief negotiator Catherine Ashton as well as an hour-long multilateral meeting between the Iranian and G5+1 top negotiators in the Omani capital on November 11 without any tangible results.

In July, Tehran and the six countries agreed to extend negotiations until November 24 after they failed to reach an agreement on a number of key issues.
