BAGHDAD, Oct 31 (Reuters) - Iran is willing to hold further talks with the United States on improving security in Iraq, Iran's Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said on Wednesday.

Mottaki also said Iran would present a plan on Iraq at a meeting of Iraq's neighbours in Istanbul this weekend but gave no details of what it would propose.

Washington has said it is willing to attend a new round of talks with its long-time foe, whom it accuses of fuelling Iraq's sectarian violence by arming and funding Shi'ite militias. Iran denies the charge.

"About the readiness of the Americans for a new round of talks ... I respond that we do consider positively this initiative," Mottaki told a joint news briefing in Baghdad with his Iraqi counterpart Hoshiyar Zebari.
