The chairman of the Press Department of the French Foreign Ministry told the Mehr News Agency on Monday that the officials of the French, British and German governments will discuss Iran’s nuclear dossier and a recent decision by Tehran to resume the production and assembly of centrifuges at the NATO summit in Istanbul.
Noting that Iran’s nuclear dossier will be on the agenda of the talks between the European Union big three the press department official said after discussions they will air their views in this regard.
The two-day NATO summit began on Monday June 28 in Istanbul, Turkey.
Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Secretary Hasan Rowhani, Iran’s main negotiator on nuclear issues, recently sent a letter to the foreign ministers of Britain, France, and Germany and to IAEA Director General Mohamed ElBaradei announcing the end of Iran’s commitment to suspend construction of centrifuges.
In the letter, Rowhani explained that according to the February Brussels meeting the European Union promised to make efforts to close Iran’s nuclear dossier at the IAEA Board of Governors meeting in Vienna and Iran in exchange promised to suspend the construction of centrifuges; however, Iran cannot keep these promises since the EU reneged on its promise and instead cosponsored a resolution which downplayed Iran’s full cooperation with the UN nuclear agency.
