Preventing the spread of nuclear weapons and a proposal to transfer atomic-reactor fuel to Iran top the agenda as U.S. and European diplomats meet for a second day in Geneva with their Iranian counterparts.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in a speech today in the city of Arak that talks will be “fruitful” if sanctions against Iran are canceled. Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said at a press conference in Tehran that Iran is going into the talks with a “positive attitude.” Nuclear non-proliferation, disarmament and atomic-technology transfer will be the points of discussion, he said.
