TEHRAN, Sept 11 (KUNA) -- Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Selehi said Sunday
Iran sent a new letter to the EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton telling
her it was ready for dialogue over its nuclear program.
Secretary General of Iran's national security council Saeed Jalili sent a
letter to Ashton few days ago affirming that Iran "is ready for dialogue ...
in order to reach common understanding," Salehi told a joint news conference

Jalili is in charge of nuclear negotiations between Iran on one side, and
the five permanent UN Security Council (UNSC) countries plus Germany (P5+1).
The P5+1 is represented by Ashton.
Meanwhile, Iran and Russia signed a number of cooperation documents in
fields of energy, space, nuclear energy, trade in transit, transportation,
