Azerbaijan, Baku, August 5 /Trend E. Kosolapova/
Kazakhstan is ready to provide a site for the talks between Teheran and the P5+1 group (U.S., China, Russia, France, Britain and Germany) on the Iranian nuclear program, Kazakh presidential press-service reported.
Such a statement was made by Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev at the meeting with new Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Sunday.
During the meeting the parties discussed the issue of settlement of the situation around the Iranian nuclear program, and Nazarbayev said Kazakhstan is ready to take active participation in this process.
Nazarbayev and Rouhani also discussed prospects of bilateral cooperation in a wide range of areas. In particular they stressed the need of expanding using transit-transport potential of the two countries.
The parties also discussed actual issues of the international agenda.
The West, led by the United States, has imposed sanctions against Iran, accusing Tehran of pursuing military objectives in its nuclear energy program.
Iran has repeatedly dismissed the Western allegations, arguing that as a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), it has every right to pursue nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
