伊朗的魯哈尼要求“建設性接觸”

Iran's newly elected President Hassan Rouhani has pledged to join in constructive dialogue with world powers.

Continuing his engagement with U.S. media, Mr. Rouhani says in an opinion piece in The Washington Post that "gone is the age of blood feuds." He says world leaders are expected to "lead" by "turning threats into opportunities."

Mr. Rouhani's column was posted late Thursday, just days before he makes his first appearance as president on the world stage at next week's U.N. General Assembly in New York.
NBC News broadcast an interview with the Iranian president earlier this week, and the Iranian head of state has more media exposure coming up in the next few days.

United Nations and Western sanctions have been imposed on Iran for its controversial nuclear program. Some world powers believe Iran has been attempting to develop nuclear weapons, but Tehran insists its uranium enrichment program is peaceful.

In the Post article, Mr. Rouhani says generating nuclear power is "as much about diversifying" Iran's energy resources as it is about the country's "demand for dignity and respect."伊朗新當選總統魯哈尼承諾與世界大國進行有建設性的對話。

魯哈尼繼續與美國的媒體進行接觸。他是在爲《華盛頓郵報》撰寫的意見文章“血仇時代已成過去”中做出以上表述的。他說，世界各國領導人有望通過“將威脅轉化爲機遇”的方式引領世界。

魯哈尼的這篇專欄文章是在星期四晚間刊出的。再過幾天，他將首次以總統的身份登上世界舞臺。魯哈尼下週將赴紐約參加聯合國安理會大會。

美國全國廣播公司NBC本週早些時候播放了對伊朗總統的採訪。魯哈尼總統在今後幾天還將有更多的媒體曝光率。

聯合國和西方國家因伊朗有爭議的核計劃對其實施了制裁。一些大國相信伊朗一直在試圖發展核武器。但是伊朗堅持說它的鈾濃縮計劃是和平的。

魯哈尼在爲《華盛頓郵報》撰寫的文章中說，生產核能是爲了儘可能地讓伊朗的能源多樣化，同時也是爲了國家得到尊嚴和尊重。
