| Indonesia supports Iran nuclear program |
| 2006-05-08 |
| INDONESIA said it supported Iran's right to pursue nuclear technology for peaceful means ahead of a visit to the country by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. During his six-day stay in the world's most populous Muslim nation, Mr Ahmadinejad is expected to seek support for Iran's nuclear program, and sign multimillion-dollar energy deals with the Government. Indonesian Foreign Minister Hassan Wirajuda said that Mr Ahmadinejad would discuss the nuclear issue with Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono when the two leaders met on Wednesday. "We want to hear for ourselves from Iran about their position on the resolution being discussed at the United Nations," he said. "Our position is that we support nuclear development for peaceful purposes, specially energy, but we consistently object to nuclear weapons proliferation." |
