LONDON, Jan 20 (IranMania) - Iran’s nuclear spokesman Hossein Musavian announced on Wednesday that the Islamic Republic is prepared to cooperate with the European Union on the issues of security and disarmament.
According to Iran's Mehr News Agency, in a speech at a seminar in Paris entitled “Middle East, Peace, Stability, and the Role of Iran”, Musavian elaborated on Iran’s positions on security issues in the Middle East.
Addressing a group of French MPs, officials, and military commanders in the national security and armed forces committee of France’s National Assembly, he stressed that all countries must make a serious commitment to the campaign against terrorism, based on international law.
The chairman of the foreign policy committee of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council noted that countries should observe transparency and refrain from duplicitous, selective, unilateral, and monopolist approaches.
Musavian added that the campaign against terrorism should not be restricted to military and security approaches and measures but also requires simultaneous efforts to study the roots of the phenomenon and to formulate an acceptable definition of terrorism.
He also said that Iran is prepared to cooperate with the European Union in the campaigns against terrorism, drugs, and organized crime in the regional and international arenas within the framework of UN resolutions.
“We should not forget that when Iran fought against Al-Qaeda and the Taleban, others actually supported those groups,” Musavian noted.
