Iran ready to discuss ‘global challenges’
Teheran, 07 Sept-(ANA)-President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said that Iran will neither halt uranium enrichment nor negotiate over its nuclear rights but is ready to sit and talk with world powers over "global challenges."
Ahmadinejad also said Iran will present its package of proposals to the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany but rejected any deadline for such talks.
The hard-line Iranian president didn't specify what will be up for discussion — or if it would even involve its disputed nuclear program — but vaguely said Iran has prepared a package of proposals that would "identify challenges facing humanity ... and resolve global concerns."(ANA)
