Iranian Foreign Minister Mohamed Javad Zarif will hold talks with his counterparts from Germany, France and Britain next week in Brussels as part of the bid to hash out a deal on Tehran’s nuclear programme, the European Union announced yesterday.
Iran has been holding a flurry of meetings with world powers recently, with just weeks left until an end-of-March deadline for the two sides to agree on a framework deal that would limit Tehran’s nuclear programme in return for sanctions relief.
The details of the deal are then supposed to be fleshed out by the end of June.
Former EU top diplomat Catherine Ashton has traditionally represented Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the US in the nuclear talks with Iran, but recent negotiations have taken place in a variety of formats.
EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini will host the new meeting on March 16 in Brussels “as part of the ongoing nuclear negotiations with Iran,” her office said in a statement.
