VIENNA, Sept 14: President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Thursday Iran was open to ‘new conditions’ to resolve its nuclear dispute with western powers and believed talks could produce agreement.
“We are in favour of dialogue and negotiation and we believe that we can resolve the problems in a context of dialogue and of justice together,” Mr Ahmadinejad told a news conference during a visit to the Senegalese capital Dakar.
“I am announcing that we are available, we are ready for new conditions,” he said without elaborating, before leaving to fly to a summit of Non-Alignment Movement countries in Cuba.
