Iran will hold talks on nuclear program with European powers
A senior Iranian government official confirmed that the meeting will be held Friday. “Tehran has always believed that the nuclear issue should be resolved through diplomacy. Iran has never abandoned negotiations.”
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said the deputy foreign ministers of Iran, France, Germany and Britain will take part in the talks, which he said will also cover regional issues as well as the nuclear dossier.
Baghaei did not say where the talks would take place. A spokesperson for the Swiss Ministry of Foreign Affairs referred questions to the countries mentioned in the Kyodo report.
“Opinions will be exchanged on a series of regional discussions and issues, including Palestine, Lebanon and also the nuclear issue,” said Baghaei.
