Visiting UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan on Sunday urged Iran to pursue a
diplomatic solution to its nuclear program and accept the new international
package. Annan made the remarks after meeting with Danish Prime Minister Anders
Fogh Rasmussen.
Annan said that the international community and Iran now have an opportunity
to really move ahead and solve this issue diplomatically. He urged Iran to take
the offer seriously and respond soon.
The package, drawn up the United States, UK, France, Germany, Russia and
China, was presented to Tehran on June 6.
