India opposes action against Iran

Published October 28, 2005

MOSCOW, Oct 27: India opposes ‘aggressive action’ against Iran over its nuclear program, Foreign Minister Natwar Singh said during a visit to Moscow on Thursday, quoted in Russian by the ITAR-TASS news agency.

Addressing students at Moscow’s prestigious Mguimo university of international relations, Singh did not comment on Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s statement calling for the destruction of Israel.

“India is against aggressive action towards Iran,” Singh said.

Iran’s nuclear programme “must exist purely in the framework defined by the IAEA and must not exceed its limits,” he added, but he said he opposed referring Iran to the UN Security Council. —AFP
