Iran VP tells Pakistan Iran has no nuclear ambitions
Islamabad (AFP) May 26, 2006 A top Iranian official told Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf Friday nuclear weapons had "no place" in his country's defence strategy, the foreign ministry said. First Vice President Parviz Davoudi also said during a meeting with Musharraf that Iran was ready to give necessary assurances it was not trying to make atomic weapons, it said in a statement. Musharraf reiterated Pakistan's desire for a peaceful settlement of the nuclear row between Iran and international community led by the United States which accuses Tehran of secretly developing nuclear weapons. The Iranian leader "appreciated Pakistan's principled stand and explained that nuclear weapons had no place in Iran's defence strategy," the statement said. The Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline project was also discussed during the meeting that followed the signing of agreements to promote bilateral trade and economic ties, it said. Davoudi arrived on Thursday for a two-day visit in connection with the 16th session of the Pakistan-Iran joint economic commission, which also brought Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki here.
