No agreement on draft resolution on IRAN
NEW YORK, May 8 (Xinhua) -- Foreign ministers of six major powers had reached no agreement on a draft UN resolution to rein in Iran's controversial nuclear ambitions after two hours of intensive discussions on Monday, said an official with the U.S. State Department. According to the official, who declined to give his name, the ministers did not spend much time discussing the draft resolution proposed by Britain and France, but focused on exchanging views on the strategic approach to Iran's nuclear issue in the future.
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice hosted talks and a dinner for her counterparts from Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the European Union in a bid to find some common ground on their approach to Iran's nuclear issue. The talks and dinners were held at Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York. The six ministers spent two hours seated on couches in the presidential suite of the hotel, far exceeding the 45 minutes originally planned. They were accompanied by interpreters but no aides for the talks, said the official.
