Tehran  - Iran on Wednesday delivered a new package of proposals to the six states involved in nuclear talks with the Islamic state, ISNA news agency reported.

Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki handed the proposals to the diplomatic envoys of Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and Switzerland - which represents the diplomatic interests of the United States in Tehran.

The package is said to contain Iran's stance on tackling "global challenges" and how the Islamic state would be ready to cooperate with the West to secure global peace.

However, it is not expected to address the main Western demand that Iran suspend its controversial uranium enrichment, and unlikely to lead to any breakthrough in the nuclear dispute.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has several times stressed in the last three months that Iran would hold nuclear talks only with the International Atomic Energy Agency
(IAEA).

The last meeting between Iran and the so-called 5+1 group was held in July 2008 in Geneva with the participation of US Under Secretary of State William Burns.(dpa)
