2nd LD: World powers, Iran reach common solutions in nuke talks

Xinhua, April 3, 2015 Adjust font size:

Top negotiators on Thursday concluded the nuclear talks in Lausanne and reached common solutions to outstanding issues, a senior EU official said.

"Today, we have taken a decisive step. We have reached solutions on key parameters of Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)," EU Foreign Policy Chief Federica Mogherini read a joint statement at a press conference held in Lausanne.

"As agreed in November 2013, we gathered here to find solutions towards reaching comprehensive resolution to ensure the exclusively peaceful nature of the Iranian nuclear program and the comprehensive lifting of all sanctions," she said.

She added the political determination, good will and hard work of all parties made it possible. Endit
