TEHRAN, June 7 (Xinhua) — Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Saturday that his country is ready for inspection of its nuclear facilities but does not accept coercion.
M. Pezeshkian made the statement during a meeting with Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan Murat Nurtleu in the Iranian capital Tehran, commenting on the ongoing indirect nuclear talks between Tehran and Washington, according to a statement published on the website of the presidential office.
Iran’s president has said the country’s nuclear activities are completely “transparent,” a claim that has been repeatedly confirmed by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
“We are ready for inspections, but we consider it unacceptable to deprive peoples of access to knowledge, technology and scientific achievements,” M. Pezeshkian said, adding that Iran is always ready to listen to logical reasoning, but will never allow “coercion and bullying.”
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan, in turn, expressed his country’s respect for Iran’s “principled and logical” position on issues of peaceful nuclear activities.
The parties agreed to develop bilateral relations in all areas, the statement noted.
According to Iran’s official news agency IRNA, Nurtleu arrived in Tehran on Saturday morning, where he was met by his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi. –0–
