TEHRAN, June 6 (RIA Novosti) - Proposals advanced by six countries seeking to negotiate a solution to the Iran nuclear crisis contain positive aspects but need clarification, the secretary of Iran's National Security Council said Tuesday.
"The proposals contain a number of positive aspects, but some issues need clarification," an Iranian television channel quoted Ali Larijani as saying.
The European Union's foreign policy chief, Javier Solana, Tuesday handed over to Iran a package of incentives drafted by the Iran-6 negotiators aimed at persuading the Islamic Republic to halt its controversial uranium-enrichment program.
Larijani said Iran would return to the negotiating table after studying the proposals.
"We need to study the propositions carefully, and after that we will resume negotiations to achieve a reasonable result," he said, adding that Tuesday's meeting with Solana had been positive.
Solana, who is also expected to meet with Iranian Foreign Minister Manuchehr Mottaki later in the day, said Britain, Germany, France, Russia, the United States, and China sought to maintain relations with the Islamic Republic.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said following talks between the Iran-6 negotiators in Vienna May 1 that the proposals covered Iran's nuclear programs, economic cooperation, and security guarantees.
