'Canada to push for more Iran sanctions at G8 meeting'

She said that Lawrence would raise the issue at a meeting of the Group of Eight industrialized countries' foreign ministers at the end of March.

“Canada will use its G8 presidency to continue to focus international attention and action on the Iranian regime. Canada believes that further sanctions authorized by the United Nations Security Council are needed,” Reuters quoted the spokeswoman as saying without naming her.

“The G8 foreign ministers will discuss how to put pressure on Iran to stop its nuclear fuel enrichment activities and convince the Iranian regime to come back to the table,” she added.

However, Tehran has repeatedly declared that it will never relinquish the legitimate nuclear rights of the Iranian nation, no matter how much pressure the West imposes on the country.
