Mr. Soames
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on relations with Iran.[120498]
Mr. Rammell
We pursue a twin-track approach of constructive but conditional engagement with Iran. We support reform while continuing a robust dialogue on matters of concern such as human rights and weapons of mass destruction. We support the conclusion of the 16 June 2003 EU General Affairs Council that:
"progress in these matters [of concern] and strengthened dialogue and cooperation are interdependent, essential and mutually reinforcing elements of EU-Iran relations".
