Iran’s envoy to Japan has expressed the Islamic Republic’s readiness to help settle a wide range of pressing global concerns.

“Iran’s proposed package had an important message for
[world] powers,” Iran’s Ambassador to Japan, Abbas Araqchi, told Japanese nuclear researchers and experts, in a reference to a package of proposals the Islamic Republic recently presented to the United Nations.
“It said that, as a large power, the Islamic Republic of Iran is ready to participate in the settlement of issues and concerns of the international community including terrorism, poverty, narcotics and the environment, as well as the crises in Iraq, Afghanistan and Lebanon,” Araqchi added.
Iran’s package to the United Nations, which was also sent to numerous international organizations and other nations, included measures aimed at providing an opportunity for the world community to make ‘collective decisions’ on the most pressing regional and international developments in policy, economy, security and nuclear cooperation.
Iran’s envoy to Japan also said Tehran would never suspend its uranium enrichment activities and added that, as a committed and responsible member of the international community, the Islamic Republic was ready to hold negotiations on its peaceful nuclear program but without any preconditions.
Araqchi said Tehran has already given its responses to all IAEA questions over its nuclear program, in keeping with the Action Plan agreement between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency, and he stressed that the agency adopt a fair and rational attitude toward Iran’s nuclear case.
Iran has repeatedly said that all its nuclear activities are peaceful and carried out under IAEA surveillance but the U.S. and its Western allies claim Iran’s nuclear program has military purposes, despite positive reports by IAEA Director-General Mohamed ElBaradei.
Araqchi said a recent report by ElBaradei confirmed that Iran’s nuclear activities had no diversion from their peaceful aims. He suggested that “the nuclear case has been turned into a political issue which is backed by the U.S.”.
