JAKARTA, Oct. 4 (Xinhua) - Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has said that Indonesia supports for Iran's nuclear program for peaceful purposes and is ready to contribute on the settlement of the dispute over the nuclear issue, local media reported Monday. The president conveyed the support when he met Alaeddin Boroujerdi, a special envoy to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, in Jakarta at weekend. Jakarta Post quoted Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa as reporting that both Indonesia and Iran opposed to the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Boroujerdi, who is the chairman of Iran's Islamic Consultative Assembly's Committee for Foreign Policy and National Security, asserted that his country's commitment to developing nuclear technology was only for peaceful purposes. In June, the United Security Council issued a new sanctions resolution on Iran. On July 1, U.S. President Barack Obama signed unilateral U.S. sanctions legislation that he said were the toughest that the U.S. Congress had ever imposed on the Islamic state. Sharing the U.S. concerns about Iran potentially gaining nuclear weapons, the European Union, Australia, Canada, Japan and South Korea have also imposed their own sanctions against Iran.
