大国伊核问题协商取得进展 (Big-Power Talks on Iran Nuclear Issue Report Progress)

美国国务卿赖斯说，联合国安理会五个常任理事国和德国高级外交官就解决伊朗核问题的战略取得了进展。但是她表示，还需要举行进一步会谈。这几个大国一直在讨论说服伊朗停止核活动的一揽子激励措施来换取伊朗停止其核活动，以及如果伊朗拒绝接受可能实施的具体制裁措施。

赖斯承认，五常加一小组的高级官员星期三在伦敦的闭门会谈没有达成任何协议。她说，还需要继续会谈，可能是部长级会谈。赖斯在华盛顿与国际原子能机构总干事埃尔巴拉迪举行联合记者会时发表了上述讲话。

西方国家怀疑伊朗计划发展核武器。尽管伊朗否认，但是埃尔巴拉迪说，重要的是伊朗采取措施让世界相信它的核项目是为了和平用途。


U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says top diplomats from the five permanent U.N. Security Council members and Germany have made progress on a strategy to deal with Iran's nuclear program. But she says more talks are needed. The major powers have been discussing a package of incentives for Iran to give up its nuclear activity, along with defined punitive actions if it refuses.

Rice acknowledged that a closed-door meeting in London of senior officials from the so-called P-Five Plus One grouping ended without an agreement Wednesday. She said further talks -- possibly at ministerial level -- will be needed. Secretary Rice discussed the London meeting at a joint news conference in Washington with International Atomic Energy Agency chief Mohamed el-Baradei.

Western powers suspect Iran is planning to make a nuclear weapon. Although Tehran denies this, el-Baradei said it is important for Iran to take measures to assure the world that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.
