国际英语新闻:Iran to attend nuclear talks with new proposals: TV

TEHRAN, Oct. 11 (Xinhua) -- Iran will attend the upcoming nuclear talks in Geneva with new proposals, Press TV reported on Friday without further details.

Sources close to the Iranian nuclear negotiating team said Iran 's Foreign Minister Mohammad-Javad Zarif will be present in the negotiations only if other parties are represented by their foreign ministers, according to the report.

In case the meeting is not held at the foreign ministers level, the deputy of Iran's foreign minister for legal and international affairs, Abbas Araqchi, will lead Iran's negotiating team, semi- official Mehr news agency reported on Friday.

The P5+1 group, which includes the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council plus Germany, will resume talks with Iran on its controversial nuclear program in Geneva on Oct. 15-16.

Media outlets reported on Wednesday that Iran is preparing a package of proposals to halt production of 20 percent enriched uranium, a key demand of the U.S. and other global powers.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the package includes " limits on the numbers of centrifuges operating, enrichment amounts and the need for verification."

Tehran in return will request that the U.S. and European Union begin scaling back sanctions, said the report.

Iran has also reiterated that the right to uranium enrichment inside Iran is non-negotiable in the upcoming nuclear discussions with world powers.
