Following a 14-month break, talks between Iran and the nuclear negotiators - Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States - are to resume their talks Oct 1, probably in Turkey.

Baqeri said that as a regional and international power, Iran wanted to talk about global issues such as terrorism, peace, the environment, the economic crisis and security.

'We are serious and ready for cooperation with world powers in these fields and consider our proposals as logical and definitely acceptable for those countries which want to settle the global problems rationally,' Baqeri added.

However, the so-called 5+1 group wants to focus on Iran's controversial nuclear programme in general and the uranium enrichment process in particular.

The agreement for resuming negotiations is therefore considered by observers as no major breakthrough but the first opportunity for both sides to once again clarify their stances.
