Tehran: Iran`s ambassador to Germany says his country will propose a new round of talks with the six world powers, following the latest sanctions imposed by the West over Tehran`s controversial nuclear programme.
Ambassador Ali Reza Sheikh Attar says Iran`s top nuclear negotiator, Saeed Jalili, is to send a letter soon to EU`s foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton to arrange a new round of negotiations. Attar didn`t say when the letter would be sent. His comments were reported by the semi-official news agency today. The last round of negotiations between Iran and the six powers -- the US, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany -- in January in Istanbul, Turkey, ended in failure.
The West fears Iran`s nuclear programme is geared toward making atomic weapons, a charge Tehran denies. PTI
