Tehran, May 5 (RHC-FNA) -- Cuban Ambassador to Tehran, Vladimir Andres Gonzalez Quesada, underlined that Havana will continue its full support for Iran's right to use peaceful nuclear technology.

"Cuba's position is very clear and explicit, since Havana supports all independent states' right of using nuclear energy for peaceful purposes," Gonzalez Quesada told Fars News Agency on Sunday.

Gonzalez Quesada also referred to the talks underway between Iran and the 5+1 Group (the U.S., Russia, China, Britain and France plus Germany), and said Cuba believes that these negotiations are important for Iran, the western states and those countries which are affected by these talks and it also believes that these negotiations indicate Iran's vital importance.

Washington and its Western allies accuse Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons under the cover of a civilian nuclear program. Iran denies the charges and insists that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.

Tehran stresses that the country has always pursued a civilian path to provide power to the growing Iranian population, whose fossil fuel would eventually run dry.
