TEHRAN (ISNA)- Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman said on Tuesday that the country and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany will meet by mid next week.
'Bilateral and multilateral meetings between Iran and G5+1 members will be held in Vienna by mid next week,' Marziyeh Afkham told reporters in her weekly press conference.
She further noted that the two sides are seeking a solution through talks to end the fake crisis, adding, the progress is slow but the two sides have agreed to continue talks.
The 7th round of talks between Iran and the Group 5+1 (the US, Russia, China, Britain and France plus Germany) was held in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly meeting last month.
The two sides had also had six rounds of negotiations in Vienna to reach a comprehensive deal after they inked an interim agreement in Geneva on November 24.
The Geneva agreement took effect on January 20 and expired six months later on July 20. In July, Tehran and the six countries agreed to extend negotiations till November 24 after they failed to reach an agreement on a number of key issues.
Last week, Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Ali Akbar Salehi described the trend of the nuclear talks between Tehran and the G5+1 as positive, but meantime stressed that differences still remain in place.
