In response to a question on the report submitted by Director-General, IAEA on 28 April 2006, on the Iran nuclear programme the Official Spokesperson said:

"We have seen the report submitted by Director-General, IAEA on 28 April 2006, on the Iran nuclear programme.

The DG, IAEA had also visited Iran on April 13 with the aim of enhancing Iran's cooperation with the IAEA on all outstanding issues.

The Report elaborates the developments since the last Board meeting in March in a factual and objective manner. The Report provides a useful basis on which diplomatic efforts should continue to avoid confrontation and to promote an amicable solution.

We continue to believe that a solution ought to be found through dialogue and confrontation should be avoided at all costs. This will require flexibility on all sides. India, as always, will continue to contribute towards the exploration of all diplomatic efforts to resolve the issue in a manner that respects Iran's right to peaceful uses of nuclear energy consistent with its international obligations and commitments."
