Kuwait stresses necessity of dialogue resolving Iranian nuclear file

The state of Kuwait underscored Thursday necessity continuing dialogue between the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and Iran to resolve outstanding issues in the Iranian nuclear program, and revive the joint comprehensive work plan.

This came in a speech relayed by Kuwaiti Ambassador to Austria and its permanent envoy to international organizations in Vienna, Talal Al-Fassam, during the IAEA board of governors meeting.

Al-Fassam affirmed the right of each country to produce, develop and use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes and in line with the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons treaty.

He mentioned that Kuwait is following developments in the Iranian nuclear file, and hopes that parties engage in negotiations to revive comprehensive work plan according to UN Security Council Resolution 2231.

Ambassador Al-Fassam also expressed concern over what came in the IAEA’s Director General report stating that the agency is unable to monitor and verify Iranian nuclear program, as it also reports uranium enrichment levels exceeding the agreed upon limit.

This stipulates that the agency is in need of increasing pace and intensifying monitoring activity, added Al-Fassam urging Iran to cooperate with the agency and readily submit the required information as promptly as possible to address outstanding issues.

In conclusion of his speech, the Ambassador highlighted necessity of dialogue allowing the agency to provide credible affirmations of no undeclared nuclear activity in Iran, ensuring its status as a country not in possession of nuclear weapons.
