Iran's Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki says his country is ready to resume talks on its nuclear program if those talks are "fair. "

Mottaki said if Iranian authorities are able to confirm her identity she would be free to leave Iran.

Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki rejected the sanctions and said Iran had no intention of suspending its enrichment program.

Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said today (Friday) European countries would lose their right to monitor Iran's nuclear program.

The Iranian foreign minister, Manouchehr Mottaki, claimed "British spies" had been sent to manipulate the elections.

Li and Mottaki agreed to continue to promote the long-term friendly and cooperative relations between China and Iran.

Mr Mottaki's removal may be a sign of Mr Ahmadinejad's growing strength in a struggle with rival conservatives.

Mottaki made no mention of the other Bin Laden children and he was not asked on the TV program whether Iran was holding them.

Mottaki would not say directly when asked whether Iran has changed its position and would comply.

Mottaki said that it is conducive for the Iranian and Chinese sides to maintain consultations on this issue.

The Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki has been dismissed while on an official tour of Africa.

Mottaki said both Iran and the West should show "flexibility" for setting the date and place of the talks.

Foreign diplomats, often bewildered by Iran's opaque power structure, are hopeful that he may be more effective than the hapless Mr Mottaki.

Spokesman Crowley said Mottaki offered nothing new at the dinner.

"I think I have informed you that the lady will be released very soon, " said Manouchehr Mottaki, foreign minister.

It is conceivable that Mr Mottaki's departure has purer motives.

In meeting with Mottaki, Li Zhaoxing said that he is concerned of the development of Iranian nuclear situation.
