The Russian Foreign Ministry said Thursday that Iran could possibly become a full member of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe agreements reached on November 24, 2013, in Geneva on Iran\u2019s nuclear program opens the actual perspective that by November of this year an exit [from the issue] and a long-term and reliable settlement of this issue will be found. Regardless of the difficult approach during the negotiation process, there is a possibility that Iran [could receive] its full capacity of rights as an NPT member state, including the right to enrich uranium and canceling the sanction regime [against the country],\u201d the ministry said on its website.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope that all the parties taking part in the consultations will show the political will in order to proceed with the final, mutually acceptable agreements, which will enable to re-establish trust of the international society for the peaceful nature of the Nuclear program of Iran. This could have a positive impact on the situation in the Middle East and lead to a creation of a zone, free of mass destruction weapons,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n
The fifth round of talks on Iran\u2019s nuclear program was held in Vienna in July.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile South Korea is ready to help its northern neighbor attract international investment, if it gives up its nuclear ambitions, South Korea\u2019s Yonhap News Agency reported Thursday citing the country\u2019s finance minister, Choi Kyung-hwan.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf North Korea decides to abandon its nuclear weapons, we will cooperate with Northeast Asian countries to actively support North Korea’s accession to international financial organizations and its attraction of international investment,\u201d the agency reported Choi as saying during a speech at a forum on Asian economic cooperation.<\/p>\n
The official also promised to facilitate the establishment of a development bank for Northeast Asian countries, which would help North Korea build infrastructure to help its poor citizens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
