Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov says the expert-level meeting between Iran and the group of six major world powers will be held in March.
'As a result of two days of negotiations, an agreement has been reached for a meeting at expert level in Istanbul on March 17-18,' Ryabkov said on Wednesday.
Iran and the P5+1 (Britain, China, France, Russia, and the United States plus Germany) wrapped up two days of negotiations earlier in the day in southeastern Kazakh city of Almaty.
The last round of negotiations was held in Moscow in June 2012. Baghdad talks were held on May 23-24, 2012.
The United States, the Israeli regime and some of their allies have repeatedly accused Iran of pursuing non-civilian objectives in its nuclear energy program. Over the false allegation, Washington and the European Union have imposed several rounds of illegal unilateral sanctions against the Islamic Republic.
Iran refutes the allegation and argues that as a signatory to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency, it is entitled to develop nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
