TEHRAN, Feb. 17 (Xinhua) — Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Tuesday that the second round of indirect talks between Iran and the United States in Geneva, Switzerland, was held in a more "constructive" atmosphere compared to the previous round in Oman.
A. Araghchi made the statement in an interview with the Iranian state television channel IRIB TV following the conclusion of negotiations on the nuclear issue between the delegations of Iran and the United States, which were held under the mediation of Oman at the diplomatic mission of that country in Geneva.
"Various ideas were put forward and discussed in depth. Ultimately, we were able to reach agreement on a number of fundamental principles, based on which we will continue to move forward and begin working on the text of a possible agreement," the Iranian diplomat emphasized.
“This does not mean that we will be able to reach an agreement quickly, but at least the path has begun,” he said, adding that the Iranian side hopes to complete this work as soon as possible and is ready to devote the necessary time to it.
The Iranian Foreign Minister noted that the date for the next round of talks has not yet been determined. The parties agreed to prepare drafts of a possible agreement, exchange them, and then schedule a new meeting.
“We now have a clearer vision of what needs to be done as we move further along the /diplomatic/ path,” A. Araghchi stated. –0–
