On her part, the U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton affirmed that her
country's relations with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been based on
permanent and vital partnership, mutual respect and common interests, noting
that her talks in Riyadh dealt with ways of enhancement of bilateral relations
between the two countries, issues of common interest, the peace process and the
situations in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
On the peace process, she said, "It is time to renew that spirit today, and
move to specific matters. The United States of America believes that through
negotiations based on goodwill, the parties can mutually agree on the result
which puts an end to the conflict and meets the Palestinian goal of setting up
an independent and viable state."
Clinton urged the international community to support the actions of Palestinian
President Mahmoud Abbas, Prime Minister of Palestine Salam Fayyad, and the
Palestinian Authority to build the Palestinian economy and its necessary
institutions for a viable and an independent state which provides security, the
rule of law and basic services for the Palestinian people.
As for Iranian affair, Clinton said that her country led last year
unprecedented efforts to launch a new relationship with Iran, and sought with
its partners to meet with Iran and to pursue an approach to allow a peaceful
nuclear program along with international preventive safeguards, but Iran
rejected the initiative.
The U.S. Secretary of State added that since October, Iran has rejected all
initiatives to meet with 5 plus 1 Group with regard to the nuclear program; and
now Iran informed the International Atomic Energy Agency that it would start
production of enriched uranium at a higher rate, considering that step as
provocative and a challenge to the U.N.Security Council resolutions.
