A new round of Iranian nuclear
talks resumed on Thursday in Swiss city as top US and Iran diplomats
came back to the negotiating table, hopefully for the home stretch.
Iranian
Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and US Secretary of State John
Kerry started talks on Thursday morning, Xinhua reported citing Iran's
state news agency IRNA.
The head of Iran's Atomic Energy
Organisation, Ali Akbar Salehi, US Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz,
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, US Under Secretary Wendy
Sherman, as well as EU deputy foreign policy chief Helga Schmid joined
the negotiation.
Due to the Iranian New Year on March 21, and
other factors, P5+ 1 countries (the US, China, Russia, France, Britain,
plus Germany) and Iran suspended the weeklong negotiations last Friday,
without having reached a framework agreement.
However, a senior
official from the US Department of State briefed journalists on
Wednesday that more progress had been made in the last round than
previous rounds.
"We are focused on getting a political framework
that addresses all of the major elements of a comprehensive deal done
by the end of March," he noted on condition of anonymity.
Foreign
ministers from Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia are expected
to join the talks later the week, a sign that a possible framework
agreement might be within reach.
