ISLAMABAD, April 16 (Xinhua) -- Iranian Ambassador to Pakistan Reza Amiri Moghadam on Thursday said Tehran is prepared to engage in serious and constructive talks.
Speaking in an interview with official Pakistan TV after an event at the Institute of Regional Studies in Islamabad, the envoy said Iran was entering the proposed negotiations with full seriousness and a clear objective of achieving a positive outcome.
He added that Tehran's negotiating team had been defined at a senior level, with Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, speaker of the Iranian Parliament, set to lead it, while the foreign minister would be the second representative.
The ambassador said the final composition of Iran's delegation would depend on the level of representation from the other side.
Pakistan was playing the role of a "responsible state" and a "sincere mediator" in facilitating dialogue, he said.
Earlier in his address, Moghadam also underscored confidence in Pakistan's diplomatic role, saying Islamabad remained a trusted venue for dialogue. "We only trust Pakistan," he said, referring to contacts with the United States. ■
