UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 13 (UPI) -- U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan has appealed to Iranian officials to work with the international community regarding its nuclear enrichment program.

Annan, speaking at a news conference Wednesday at the United Nations, said he was heartened by talks between Iranian and EU officials that have been termed "constructive and fruitful." Those talks are scheduled to continue Thursday.

Western countries are concerned about Iran's nuclear program and the possibility it could be used to develop weapons of mass destruction. Tehran has insisted the program is for peaceful purposes.

"I can also say that in the region there was lots of anxiety about this issue, with leaders telling me, 'We cannot afford another crisis in this region,'" Annan said.

"And I appeal to the Iranians to really work with the international community and lift the cloud of uncertainty surrounding their program, so hopefully this will be done."
