Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov underscored the necessity of rebuilding trust in a peaceful nature of Iran's activities in the field of using nuclear energy. Lavrov returned to Moscow on Wednesday from Tehran, where he held talks on Tuesday with Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad and his Iranian colleague Manuchehr Motaki. "The discussions were a follow-up of the dialogue began during Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to Tehran several weeks ago," Lavrov said. "The visit was very useful and confirmed the importance of consistent, progressive and sincere dialogue without avoiding important issues, such as the Iranian nuclear program. By such actions we'll be contributing to the finding of a just solution and we’ll be doing it while keeping contact with European partners, China and the United States, as the participants in the six-party process to resolve the issue related to the Iranian nuclear program," the diplomat said. "We come out solely for a peaceful settlement of issues raised by the international community," the minister noted, "we'll be resolutely following the decisions worked out by the UN Security Council." "We reiterate that unilateral actions which are now being taken with respect to trade-economic sanctions against Iran are not helping further collective efforts," Lavrov underlined. He said he had informed the Iranian foreign minister about further, preferably proactive work of the International Atomic Energy Agency on clearning all the questions which the international community asked regarding the previous Iranian nuclear program." The minister reiterated that Russia was committed to collective work on settling this problem. Lavrov noted that his talks "has confirmed the importance of consistent dialogue, without avoiding difficult issues related to the Iranian nuclear program." "I believe that by such actions we'll be contributing to finding of a just solution... The dialogue will continue." In Tehran, the parties discussed the development of bilateral cooperation in the trade and economic sphere, ahead of the upcoming session of the intergovernmental commission over these issue," the minister added.
