Iranian President says Tehran and the six world powers have reached a consensus on principle issues.

Addressing a gathering of cabinet members and parliamentarians at Iran's parliament on October 6, Hassan Rouhani said the sides' difference lied only in details, Press TV reported.

"There is no difference between the two sides over whether a power plant should be constructed in Arak, or whether Iran should possess enrichment technology, or about the Fordow center and the continuation of Iran's peaceful nuclear activities, or whether alleged military issues should be resolved. There are some differences only about details and the quantity of matters," Rouhani said.

Iran and the P5+1 held their latest round of talks in New York on September 18-26 to work out a final agreement aimed at ending the longstanding dispute over Tehran's civilian nuclear energy program before a November 24 deadline.

Today, no one says Iran should be eliminated from equations and developments, and everybody admits that Iran is not omissible, according to Rouhani.

"All countries have said that Iran should play its role in fighting terrorism and there is no doubt about this," the Iranian president added.

Iran and P5+1 group will resume talks soon. Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman, Marzieh Afkham said on October 8 that Iran is due to hold bilateral and multilateral talks with the P5+1 countries on Tehran's nuclear case next week in Austrian capital city of Vienna, Iranian state IRINN TV reported.

Associated Press also reported that the U.S Secretary of State John Kerry, the EU foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif will gather in Vienna next week.

Last November, Iran and the P5+1 clinched an interim nuclear accord, which took effect on January 20 and expired six months later. However, the two sides agreed to extend their talks until November 24 as they remained divided on a number of key issues.
