India stresses diplomacy on Iran

Despite Washington’s increasing pressure on India for joining sections against the Islamic Republic, New Delhi has once again stressed that dialogue is the sole way to resolve Tehran's nuclear issue.

“We [New Delhi] would like to see the issue [the disputes over Iran’s nuclear energy program] resolved peacefully through negotiations," Indian Foreign Secretary Ranjan Mathai said at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) on Tuesday.

Referring to India’s stance on Iran’s nuclear program, Mathai stressed that “Our votes in [the International Atomic Energy Agency] IAEA speak for themselves,” adding that the country believes “Iran has rights to peaceful uses of nuclear energy.”

"We hope that the negotiations between P5+1 -- Britain, China, France, Russia, and the United States plus Germany -- and Iran would resume soon and contribute to a positive outcome," the Indian official added.
