The Group of Eight (G8) foreign ministers on Friday called on Iran to cooperate fully with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Expressing serious concern over the proliferation risks posed by the Iranian nuclear program, the ministers strongly urge Iran to "answer all of the IAEA's questions without further delay" and comply with its international obligations and suspend all enrichment-related activities.
Iran also need to respond to the updated incentives package in a constructive way, said the chairman's statement released towards the conclusion of the G8 foreign ministers meeting.
During the working sessions, the top diplomats expressed the hope that Iran will act in a more responsible and constructive manner in the region, particularly in the context of the Middle East Peace Process and the stability of Iraq and Afghanistan.
The G8 foreign ministers meeting opened Thursday in the ancient Japanese city of Kyoto. International efforts for nuclear nonproliferation and peace building in war-torn countries were the major issues on the table of the gathering.
The two-day meeting is the last of a string of G8 ministerial conferences in the run-up to the G8 summit scheduled for July 7-9 at the Toyako (Lake Toya) resort area in Hakkaido.
