Iran and P5+1 Launch New Round of Talks in Moscow
Local Editor
Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany (P5+1) have launched a new round of talks in the Russian capital of Moscow on Monday.
The Iranian negotiating delegation is led by Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Saeed Jalili, and the P5+1 group is headed by EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton.
The two-day negotiations, on 18 and 19 June, are slated to follow up on the previous talks held in Iraq and Turkey.
Jalili earlier urged the West to respect Tehran's nuclear rights in order for the Moscow meeting to succeed. He stressed Iran's readiness to cooperate and enter talks with "different countries on a variety of issues, including collaborations in the field of nuclear energy."
Iran and the P5+1 held three sessions of plenary talks in Baghdad in May after an earlier round of negotiations in the Turkish city of Istanbul in mid-April, and had held two rounds of talks, one in Geneva, Switzerland, in December 2010, and another in Istanbul in January 2011.
