Iran, EU’s Ashton to Resume Nuclear Talks in New York

Local Editor

EU foreign affairs head Catherine Ashton will meet Iranian Foreign Minister Mohamad Javad Zarif in New York for further talks on Tehran’s nuclear program on Wednesday, her spokeswoman said.

There will be additional "negotiating sessions" ahead of formal discussions between Iran and the P5+1 countries, Ashton’s spokeswoman said. These P5+1 talks will take place on Friday on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly meetings in New York, she added.

Tehran and the six countries- the UN Security Council permanent members, Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States, plus Germany-signed an interim deal in Geneva last November [2013], which took effect on January 20 and expired six months later. In July, Iran and the six countries agreed to extend negotiations until November 24 this year after they failed to reach common ground on a number of key issues.
