President Hassan Rouhani has met with his French counterpart Francois Hollande on the sidelines of the 68th annual session of the UN General Assembly in New York.


President Rouhani made the remarks in a meeting with President Hollande on the sidelines of the 68th Session of the UN General Assembly in New York on Tuesday.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran has never pursued nuclear weapons due to religious and ethical reasons and this issue that Iran has the right to have access to nuclear technology should be accepted by everyone,” President Rouhani said.

The French president also called on Iran to show “concrete gestures” to help resolve the issues regarding its nuclear energy program.

He hailed the position taken by President Rouhani on Iran's nuclear energy program as “a glimmer of hope” and called for more practical measures on the part of Tehran.

President Hollande said that his country is ready to take all efforts to expedite the resolution of Iran’s nuclear case.
