EU's Solana backs further dialogue with Iran

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana said on Monday he wanted to pursue contacts with Iran on its disputed nuclear program after a new meeting with its top nuclear negotiator he described as constructive.

"We want to maintain dialogue and Iran knows what we want to do," he told reporters as he arrived for a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels.

He said his meeting with Iran's Ali Larijani on the margins of a security conference in Munich on Sunday had been "good and constructive", but said he could give no details of what the two had discussed.
