TEHRAN, Sept. 30 (Xinhua) -- Iran's chief nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili said Wednesday the Islamic Republic will attend the upcoming negotiation in Geneva on Iran's nuclear program with a "positive view and good will."
"Our look to these talks is strategic, long-term and based on cooperation," the semi-official Fars news agency quoted Jalili as saying.
"We believe that the power, capabilities and potentials of the Islamic Republic provide an opportunity for stability, security and development of cooperation based on peace and justice to the interests of the nations' progress," said Jalili, who is also Iran's Supreme National Security Council secretary.
Jalili made the remarks before leaving Tehran for Geneva to attend talks on Oct. 1 with six countries negotiating with Iran about its nuclear program, namely Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States.
The United Nations Security Council has so far levied three rounds of sanctions on Iran.
The United States and its allies have accused Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons under the cover of civilian nuclear program, while Iran has denied the U.S. charges and insisted that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.
