Tehran, YJC. A senior French MP says France is a supporter of swift deal on Iran's nuclear program.
"The Americans, for several reasons, seem eager to reach an
agreement rather quickly,” the head of the French Parliament's Foreign Affairs
Committee, Elisabeth Guigou said on Sunday.
"It is the same for [Iranian] President [Hassan] Rouhani
whose objective is also political: the lifting of the sanctions,” she further
noted.
The French parliamentarian also said that her country acts
as a "guardian” in the nuclear talks between Iran and the six world powers.
"In this context, I foresee that in the next round [of
talks] France will continue to play its role of guardian given the serious
nature of a likely agreement,” between the two sides, she added.
Guigou further expressed hope that Iran and the P5+1 group –
the US, Russia, China, France, Britain and Germany – would reach a final
agreement over the Islamic Republic’s nuclear issue.
The French official said that a possible comprehensive deal
with Tehran would have a positive impact on French-European relations with
Iran.
"…As soon as the
nuclear agreement is reached, we anticipate that our contacts will be more
positive, and they might be more productive,” she said.
"Securing a good nuclear deal would allow this great
country, which inherited from an ancient and prestigious civilization, to
contribute to peace and stability in the region and at a global scale,” she
said.
