New York  - Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said Wednesday his government will consider new proposals by the five UN Security Council permanent members and Germany, which aim at settling the dispute over Iran's uranium enrichment programme.

Mottaki said at UN headquarters in New York that the package of proposals was being "examined" by Tehran.

"We are looking at it in a constructive manner," Mottaki said. "We are examining it now and very soon, we'll reply to the foreign ministers of the six countries about the new process."

Mottaki gave no details about the proposals made by the United States, Russia, China, France and Britain - the five veto-wielding council members - and Germany.

"We'll engage in a constructive dialogue because we see a new capacity to arrive at a comprehensive and multi-faceted approach" to reach a solution, he said. Mottaki was at UN headquarters to attend meetings of the UN Economic and Social Council. (dpa)
