The EU looks forward to "six" of international mediators engaging with Iran to resolve the Iranian nuclear issue, the representative of the EU External Action Service Michael Mann said today.
"We hope that the new Iranian government will be prepared to make rapid progress towards addressing international concerns about its nuclear programme and engage constructively on the (P5+1) proposal for confidence-building," Mann said.
Earlier on Sunday, the officially-inaugurated president of Iran, Hassan Rouhani, said that the only way to interact with his country is through dialogue rather than sanctions. According to him, "sanctions and threats of war will not force the Iranian nation to give up, but the only way to interact with Iran is dialogue on an equal footing, mutual respect, to reduce hostility."
