Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said Monday that his country was looking for a peaceful solution to the international dispute over its nuclear energy plans and was ready to hear any new proposals. "We express our readiness for negotiations based on justice and a comprehensive compromise. We want to peacefully solve the problem," Mottaki said after talks with Belgian Foreign Minister Karel De Gucht. "We believe that the time of threats is over. ... We are here to hear any new plans, any new proposal, any new ideas." Mottaki was in Brussels for talks with senior European Union officials, including the bloc's foreign policy chief, Javier Solana.
