"On request of Solana negotiations will be held in the nearest future," said Manouchehr Mottaki, who is currently on a two-day official visit to Belarus. "At the negotiations we will resume a dialog on the methods of holding the talks and the agenda."
"We hail the process of negotiations as the only method to achieve a compromise," Mottaki said.
The UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1696 July 31, demanding that Iran suspend uranium enrichment by August 31 or face possible economic and diplomatic sanctions, but the Islamic republic refused to observe the deadline.
The September 1 report issued by the International Atomic Energy Agency said Tehran has not suspended its uranium enrichment activities, and was blocking IAEA officials from inspecting Iran's nuclear facilities.
