According to Khabar Online's political correspondent, Velayati, former Iran's Foreign Minister made remarks on the sidelines of a conference on developments in the Middle East and the future of regional order held in Tehran on Tuesday.
"Unlike the six world powers, Iranian delegation had a clear plan from the beginning as it was expected. The role played by the Islamic Republic’s envoys in leading the negotiations to a definite direction was completely clear," he said.
"It would be better for 5+1 group [including the United States, Russia, the UK, France, China plus Germany] to do their consultations before attending nuclear meetings to improve negotiations," top Iranian advisor stated.
"As both parties agree to hold the next round of nuclear talks [on June 18 and 19] in Moscow, they showed their interest in pursuing negotiations and find a diplomatic resolution for the dispute," Velayati who was Iran's Foreign Minister from 1981 to 1997 suggested.
He went on to say: "We hope that the 5+1 group will increase coordination between themselves before presenting their plans at the talks so that they can engage in Moscow negotiations more consistently and purposefully."
The senior adviser had already said that the six major powers should prove in practice that they have recognized Iran’s right to nuclear technology for peaceful purposes under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, according to MNA.
The West claims that Iran Iran's nuclear program is aimed at developing a secret military nuclear plant, but the Islamic Republic stresses that as a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), Its nuclear activity has been centered on civilian purposes including medical research and electricity production.
The United Nations Security Council So far, UNSC has imposed four rounds of economic sanctions against Iran and the U.S. the EU and their allies have put even more embargos on Tehran, Through trying to bring Iran to its knees.
On the issue of nuclear enrichment, Velayati said, “As far as I am informed about the Islamic Republic of Iran’s official policies, the system has no intention of halting uranium enrichment.”
Iranian delegation in the Baghdad meeting already reiterated that the right of uranium enrichment for the members of NPT was underlined when the convention was revised in 2009. Iran in its own turn stresses on the peaceful use of atomic energy which is the main point of difference of its opinion with the U.S. and the EU.
