Iran says nuclear talks to continue in following days for "good deal"

Xinhua, June 30, 2015 Adjust font size:

The international talks will continue in the following days to reach a good deal over Iran's nuclear issue, an Iranian nuclear negotiator said on Tuesday, according to official IRNA news agency.

"It is not clear up to which day the talks will continue, but what is clear the talks will not be extended" for another period of time, the unnamed nuclear official said.

Despite the little progress, the talks are moving ahead, he said, maintaining that the negotiators pursue "the principle of a good deal in the talks."

The foreign ministers of Iran and world powers will meet on Tuesday in Vienna to discuss the remaining differences and the details for resolving them, he was quoted as saying.

Iran and the P5+1 group -- the United States, Britain, France, Russia, China, and Germany -- agreed on a framework of understanding in early April and set June 30 as a deadline for reaching a final deal, after missing two previous deadlines in June and last November. Endit
