Iran should reciprocate recent overtures by the Obama administration to discuss its nuclear plans, Mohamed ElBaradei, chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said on Monday.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in remarks published on Friday Tehran favoured dialogue with world powers over its nuclear works and would soon give its official response to an invitation for talks. "I have been telling my Iranian friends that they must reciprocate (the U.S. offers)," ElBaradei told a news conference in Beijing. "I am very much supportive of the new approach and I hope it will work," he was quoted as saying by Reuters.
