EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana and Iran's top nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani will hold their third meeting "very soon" probably in Europe, Mottaki told AP.

He admitted that Solana and Larijani have been in contact and are coordinating during the last two or three days, adding that "I think very soon they will have the next round of discussions."

"We do believe that case has gone once again on track," Mottaki said. "All the parties should support and make a commitment to support the negotiations and generally I believe there are possibilities to reach a comprehensive solution based on negotiations for both parties."

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, at a press conference on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly on Thursday, insisted that his country's nuclear program is peaceful and Iran does not need a nuclear bomb.

He also mentioned that Iran is prepared to negotiate on suspending uranium enrichment activities "under fair and just conditions."

Solana had expected to meet his counterpart in New York last week, but Mottaki said it was not possible because Larijani's deputy and members of his delegation were not given U.S. visas.
