Tehran, February 15 (Xinhua) — Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi left Tehran on Sunday for Geneva, Switzerland, to participate in the second round of indirect talks with the United States on Iran's nuclear program, as well as to hold separate diplomatic meetings, the Iranian Foreign Ministry announced.
As specified in the department's statement, the negotiations are scheduled for February 17 and will take place with the "mediation and good offices" of Oman.
A. Araghchi, who heads the “diplomatic and specialized” delegation, will meet in Geneva with Swiss Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis, Omani Foreign Minister Badr bin Hamad bin Hamoud Al Busaidi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency Rafael Grossi and other officials.
The first round of talks between the Iranian and US delegations, led by A. Araghchi and US Presidential Special Envoy Steven Witkoff, respectively, took place on February 6 in the Omani capital of Muscat.
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Majid Takht-Ravanchi told the BBC on Sunday that the first round had gone "more or less in a positive direction" and that Tehran was approaching the Geneva talks with hopes of reaching an agreement.
He noted that Washington now has to demonstrate the seriousness of its intentions regarding the deal, adding that the US “sincerity” could pave the way for a breakthrough. –0–
