New York  - Iran's Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki on Thursday said no immediate results should be expected from the six- party nuclear talks in Geneva as the discussion will continue.

During a visit to United Nations headquarters in New York, Mottaki emphasized in talks with "most" of the foreign ministers of the six nations participating in the Geneva talks with Iranian officials "not to raise high expectations."

"They must take a realistic approach and continue such talks," Mottaki told a press conference. "We support the continuation of such talks."

Mottaki praised US President Barack Obama for taking the "right approach" when he called for ridding the world of nuclear weapons and nuclear powers to disarm. He said Obama's policy can lead to the effective discussion on conventions banning use of chemical weapons and weapons of mass destruction.

Envoys from the United States, Russia, China, France and Britain - the five permanent members of the UN Security Council - and Germany met with Iranian nuclear negotiators in Geneva to discuss the dispute over Iran's nuclear activities. The talks had become more crucial after Iran admitted it is building a second nuclear plant.

Mottaki did not say which foreign ministers of those six countries he had met to discuss nuclear issues. He was in New York to discuss matters related to the UN General Assembly session.

He said the Geneva talks should continue in committees after the high-level talks with the six powers. He said summit meetings usually lead to committee talks, which are typically given the tasks of hashing out technical details on complex issues such as nuclear activities.

Mottaki reiterated Tehran's right to possess nuclear energy for civilian use. He said Tehran has respected regulations of the International Atomic Energy Agency while carrying out nuclear activities.  dpa
