Solana to hand Iran incentives package on Tuesday

05 June 2006 [20:58] - TODAY.AZ
European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana will hand Iran a package of incentives on Tuesday that seek to persuade Tehran to end sensitive nuclear work, a spokeswoman for Solana said on Monday.

The spokeswoman, speaking in Brussels, said Solana would fly to Tehran on Monday and present his proposals on Tuesday, Reuters reports.

He was due to meet Iran's chief nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani to hand over the package, an EU diplomat, who declined to be named, told Reuters in Tehran.

The incentives Solana will deliver to Iran stem from an initiative put together by the three biggest EU states -- Britain, France and Germany -- and approved by a forum that also included the United States, China and Russia.

Details of the package have not been announced, but diplomats have been working on themes ranging from offering nuclear reactor technology to giving security guarantees.
