Solana Reassures Saniora About Developments in Iran”s Nuke Talks
Caretaker PM Fouad Saniora has reportedly discussed with EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana during a telephone conversation the results of talks between major powers and Iran over its nuclear program.
An Nahar daily said Saturday that Solana informed Saniora the day before about the meeting between top envoys from the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany, known as the P5-plus-1 partners and Iran”s senior nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili.
Solana informed Saniora that "the atmosphere is encouraging" but "should be improved."
The EU official”s stance comes after Tehran”s approval in principle Thursday on uranium being sent to a third country to be enriched and used for a research reactor in Tehran.
Such an atmosphere has positive repercussions on Lebanon and helps facilitate cabinet formation, An Nahar said.
