Indonesia urged all concerned parties on Thursday (6/3/08) to settle the dispute over Iran’s nuclear program through a process of dialogue involving the European Union and France, Germany, Britain, the US, China and Russia, presidential spokesman Dino Patti Djalal said, according to Xinhua.

"As there has been an offer for the EU plus three plus three dialogues, we urge all concerned parties to use the opportunity for the dialogues," Djalal told a press conference at the State Palace.

He said that the EU plus three (France, Germany, United Kingdom), plus three (Russia, China and the US) dialogues had been offered after the issuance of the recent UN resolution of additional sanctions on Iran.

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono will discuss the nuclear issue with Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinezhad and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamene'i during a visit to Iran on March 10 to 11, said Djalal.

The spokesman reaffirmed Indonesian’s stand of supporting Iranian nuclear development for peaceful purposes and said Indonesia wanted Iran persistently and transparently cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Indonesia abstained on the recent additional UN resolution on additional sanctions on Iran.
