Iran has shown flexibility during nuclear talks: Senior negotiator
A senior Iranian nuclear negotiator says the country has shown "necessary flexibility" during talks with the P5+1 group of countries and that the other side must make a decision to finalize discussed solutions, Press TV reports.
Iranian Foreign Ministry’s Director General for Political Affairs Hamid Baeidinejad made the remarks in the Swiss city of Lausanne on Friday, adding that "there are a number of issues that haven’t been resolved yet," of which "research and development and sanctions" are "the most important".
“These issues include details that are very important and there are other issues related to these issues, I don’t want to get into details but these are some of the most important issues and all efforts are based on finding solutions to these remaining issues,” Baeidinejad said.
Responding to a question on the possibility of resolving the outstanding issues by Sunday, Baeidinejad said, "The possibility definitely exists and this depends on the political decision of the negotiating sides, particularly we expect the other side to coordinate and make decisions to facilitate the process."
Meanwhile, Iranian and Chinese deputy foreign ministers held talks over Tehran’s nuclear program in Lausanne.
Iran’s deputy foreign ministers Abbas Araqchi and Majid Takht-e Ravanchi met with their Chinese counterpart Wang Qun to discuss outstanding issues pertaining to Iran's nuclear issue on Friday.
Also on Friday, trilateral talks were held between representatives of Iran headed by Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, the US delegation headed by Secretary of State John Kerry, and EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini, who was accompanied by her deputy Helga Schmid.
The talks, which kicked off on Thursday, are part of broader negotiations between Iran and the P5+1 countries - China, Russia, Britain, the US, France and Germany - over Tehran's nuclear program.
Iran and the six countries have been in talks to resolve outstanding issues surrounding Tehran’s nuclear program to pave the way for striking an overarching deal on the country’s nuclear program as a deadline slated for July 1 draws closer.
