MOSCOW: Negotiators from all six powers in the P5+1 group will tomorrow meet with Iranian representatives for fresh nuclear talks being held in Vienna, Russia’s deputy foreign minister said. “It has been agreed to hold what can be called a mini-round of negotiations on October 16,” Sergei Ryabkov told Interfax news agency yesterday.
Iran’s foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif arrived in the Austrian capital yesterday. Officials in his delegation held separate two- and three-way talks with US and EU negotiators.
US Secretary of State John Kerry is due to go to Vienna today for talks with Zarif. The Iranian foreign minister said the discussions included the “vital issues” of “uranium enrichment and the lifting of sanctions”.
The sides have just six weeks before a November 24 deadline by which they are meant to finalise an accord.AFP
