IRNA -- Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said Friday statements by Iran's Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi in Luxembourg have been misquoted by some media press. According to the Press and Information Department of the Foreign Ministry, Asefi said the Iranian Foreign Ministry has in fact underlined that both camps in Iran are doubtful over whether the United States stands ready to have fair relations with Iran based on mutual respect and equality.

The Iranian foreign Ministry has indeed clarified that Iran wants improved ties with all states based on the principle of mutual respect while adding that the Iranian peoples from all walks of life do not trust the US intentions to establish relations with Iran based on mutual respect. Kharrazi arrived in Luxembourg Wednesday on a one-day official visit for talks with government officials in Luxembourg to boost bilateral ties. Kharrazi met and conferred with Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker, President of Parliament Jean Spautz and Foreign Minister Lydie Polfer and discussed bilateral ties and regional and international developments. Observers say that ties between the two countries are growing after the visit to Tehran last year by Polfer. |
