G5+1 to Iran: Halt enrichment for talks

EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana says the G5+1 package calls for the suspension of Iran's uranium enrichment during negotiations.

"We continue to ask for suspension, suspension during the time of negotiations and we will (then) see the outcome of negotiations," Solana told reporters after meeting Iranian officials in Tehran.

Solana also expressed hope that Iran would soon respond to the nuclear incentives package offered by the six major world powers.

"It is an offer that is going to be considered (by Iran) and we are waiting for the answer that they hope will be soon," he said.

He also stressed the need to build trust in 'the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program'.

According to Solana, the offer is 'full of opportunities for Iran' and may become the 'starting point for real negotiations'.

"We fully recognize Iran's rights to nuclear energy for peaceful purposes," Solana said. "We want to have a fully normalized relationship in all the fields, in particular the nuclear field."
