BRUSSELS: The next round of talks between six world powers and Iran on resolving a dispute over Tehran’s nuclear programme will be held in Vienna from June 16 to 20, the European Union said yesterday.
EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton held “very long and useful discussions” with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in Turkey on Monday and yesterday on ways of advancing the nuclear talks, Ashton’s spokesman Michael Mann said.
“They explored different possibilities as part of an ongoing process. The next formal round of (six-power) talks with Iran will be from 16-20 June in Vienna,” Mann said in a statement.
Ashton coordinates with Iran in the long-running negotiations on behalf of the six powers — the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany.
