Iran’s Zarif in Vienna to join N-talks
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif leaved Tehran for Vienna this morning to take part in negotiations with the P5+1 over the country's nuclear program.
Zarif is scheduled to meet with EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton Tuesday evening ahead of the trilateral talks with Ashton and US Secretary of State John Kerry to be held on October 15, IRNA news agency reported.
Zarif, Ashton and Kerry will discuss the progress of the ongoing nuclear negotiations between Tehran and the G5+1 group of the world powers.
The negotiations may extend till October 16.
Tehran and the P5+1 - Russia, China, France, Britain, the US and Germany - wrapped up their latest round of nuclear discussions in New York late September.
Iran and its negotiating partners are currently working to reach a final agreement aimed at ending the longstanding dispute over Tehran's nuclear activities as the November 24 deadline approaches.
Last November, the two sides clinched an interim nuclear accord, which took effect on January 20 and expired six months later. However, they agreed to extend their talks until November 24, as they remained split on a number of key issues.
