Diplomat: First Round Of Vienna Talks Constructive; Next Round On Friday

IRAN

Abbas Araghchi, the political deputy at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran, has stated that the first round of talks between the Joint Commission meeting in Vienna were 'constructive'.

  • Enrique Mora, the EU's coordinator of the talks, tweets: "Constructive Joint Commission meeting. There's unity and ambition for a joint diplomatic process with two expert groups on nuclear implementation and sanctions lifting. As Coordinator I will intensify separate contacts here in Vienna with all relevant parties, including US."
  • The next round of talks will be held on Friday, once again set to be without direct presence of US diplomats in the room. The discussions are intended to pave the way towards direct talks between Iran and the US on the potential of the US re-joining the Iran nuclear deal or a variant thereof.
