Secretary of Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Larijani and the EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana will hold talks on Iran's peaceful nuclear program Wednesday, said a senior Iranian Foreign Ministry official Sunday. "No final decision has been made on the venue of the meeting yet," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad-Ali Hosseini, according to a report of Iran's news agency "IRNA." He told domestic and foreign reporters at his weekly press conference, "We hope the negotiations would lead to an agreement accepted by the sides to settle the issue." Asked whether talks between Larijani and Solana are aimed to convince Iran to accept enrichment suspension, Hosseini said, "Undoubtedly, the issue of suspension of nuclear activities and enrichment will not be raised at talks. "We should delete suspension of enrichment from the literature of Iran's nuclear activities." The spokesman stressed that no precondition has been set for talks, adding, "We should let talks be held so that we come to a solution agreed by the sides."
