LONDON — Britain said Tuesday that world powers would
make an “updated and credible” offer when talks resume with Iran on its
disputed nuclear program this month.
Foreign Secretary William Hague welcomed an announcement made earlier in the day that a deadlock over the date and venue of the negotiations had been resolved and they had agreed to meet in Almaty, Kazakhstan, on Feb. 26.
He said the “need to make progress is increasingly urgent” in the talks between Iran and the P5+1 group of the United States, Russia, China, Britain and France plus Germany.
“We will approach the talks in Almaty with an updated and credible offer for Iran. The onus is on Iran to respond seriously and turn its declared willingness to negotiate into concrete action,” Hague said.
Iran is continuing to enrich uranium in contravention of UN Security Council resolutions “and on a scale that has no plausible civilian explanation”, added Britain’s top diplomat. “We want to work with Iran, in the spirit of mutual respect, on the concrete steps needed to address the international community’s serious concerns about its nuclear program,” he said.— AFP
