Iran's Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday that the Islamic Republic is fully ready to hold talks with six world powers reiterating the need for all the parties involved to adopt a constructive and positive approach.

Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council -- Russia, China, Britain, France and the US -- in addition to Germany will hold negotiations on a spectrum of topics, including ways to improve [Iran’s] interactions with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Ramin Mehmanparast told reporters at his weekly press conference in Tehran, according to Press TV.

"Our main demand is recognition of our right to possess the (nuclear) technology for peaceful purposes," Mehmanparast said as reported by AFP. "That right has been achieved, and we don't think there is a negotiable issue regarding our nuclear activities."

He added that the talks are currently underway with a high-ranking IAEA delegation that arrived in Tehran early Monday at Iran's invitation to set the framework for future bilateral cooperation.

We should wait to see the outcome of the visit by the IAEA delegation and its impact on Iran's talks with the P5+1 representatives, the Iranian spokesman said.

He noted that the time and venue of the talks will be determined based on a consensus between the two sides.
