18 de maio de 2010Brazilian Foreign Minister Celso Amorim said at tehran on Monday that a trilateral fuel swap agreement reached in Tehran on Monday recognizes Iran’s right for peaceful nuclear energy, the official IRNA news agency reported.
The agreement followed two major goals: admitting Iran’s right to benefit from nuclear energy for peaceful purposes and a requirement for Iran to provide global community with guarantees in connection with its nuclear program, said Amorim according to IRNA.
Iran signed here a nuclear fuel swap agreement with Turkey and Brazil on Monday.
According to the agreement, the Tehran government has agreed to a draft proposal whereby Iran will send some 1,200 kg of its 3.5 percent enriched uranium over to Turkey in exchange for a total of 120 kg 20 percent uranium needed for a medical research reactor, Press TV reported.
The agreement indicates that there is still time for diplomacy and dialogue, Amorim told reporters, adding that global community and the G5+1 should raise their confidence level, the report said.
The “G5+1 countries” refers to the five permanent United Nations Security Council members — the United States, Russia, China, France and Britain — plus Germany.
