Russia on Friday welcomed a resolution adopted by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on the Iranian nuclear program.

"We are satisfied with its content. We did not merely vote for it, but were among its co-authors," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

The resolution was adopted on Thursday by the UN nuclear watchdog's 35-member Governing Board with majority support. Cuba voted against it, while three other countries abstained.

"These results showed the document has been of quality, checked and balanced," the Russian statement said.

The IAEA resolution urged Iran to comply fully with all of its obligations under relevant UN Security Council resolutions without delay.

According to the statement, the resolution encourages talks between Teheran and the IAEA, as well as negotiations between Iran and the P5+1 group, which consists of Britain, China, France, Russia, the United States and Germany.

"The resolution contains no threats or accusations of anybody," the statement noted.

It added that Moscow hopes the "positive mood" would prevail among all relevant parties in the future dialogue.
