Iran to cooperate with IAEA, continue talks

Iran is ready to continue its cooperation with the United Nations atomic energy agency over its nuclear programme, Iranian foreign minister Manouchehr Mottaki said on Monday.                            

Mottaki told a news conference in Geneva that there had been no diversion of his country's peaceful nuclear activities and that Tehran welcomed further negotiations with world powers.        
 

"We have fully cooperated with the agency. This cooperation will continue," Mottaki said, referring to the International Atomic Energy Agency whose board met in Vienna on Monday. "We have always welcomed and encouraged negotiations and talks."
