Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Thursday his country would continue its nuclear activities under the supervision of the UN's nuclear watchdog.
"The positions of my country are quite clear. Our activities will continue in the context and the framework of the agency and the NPT," Ahmadinejad said, in a reference to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, of which Iran is a signatory.
Ahmadinejad said Iran had provided the highest level of co-operation to the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency and would continue to do so. "We are going to continue on this road under the supervision of the agency and according to the regulations," he added.
Speaking through an interpreter after a meeting with Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi in Malaysia's administrative capital Putrajaya, Ahmadinejad said the road for negotiations remained open."We are ready to negotiate on different things," he added. "Having said that, it's very clear that we are not open to negotiate on our inalienable rights." But he wanted the talks to be fair.
"Negotiations must be conducted in a fair and balanced manner. The time when a party or power would impose its views on others and deal with others from a position of power is past." Iran was willing to consider new proposals.
