Iran, world powers conclude talks in Geneva<\/strong>
\n10 November, 2013 – Shia Post<\/p>\n

Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany have concluded three days of intense talks on Tehran\u2019s nuclear energy program in Geneva, Switzerland.<\/p>\n

The closed-door talks, which started on Thursday and were to end on Friday, continued into early Sunday amid divisions among the six world powers.<\/p>\n

French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said the marathon ministerial talks ended without a deal.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe meetings in Geneva have made it possible to move forward, but we have not yet managed to conclude [a deal], because there are still some questions remaining to be dealt with,\u201d Fabius said.<\/p>\n

In a final joint press conference with EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Catherine Ashton, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said progress had been made during the \u201cproductive\u201d talks and that the two sides had reached an agreement on a number of issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not disappointed at all because the meeting we just had, very long, running after midnight, was a good meeting,\u201d Zarif said. \u201cWe are working together and hopefully we will be able to reach an agreement when we meet again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ashton also said that the two sides had made \u201cconcrete progress\u201d in the talks, which she described as \u201cintense and constructive discussions.\u201d<\/p>\n

She, however, said some issues remained to be resolved in future talks. \u201cOur objective is to reach a conclusion and that\u2019s what we will come back to try and do,\u201d she told reporters.<\/p>\n

Ashton said Iran and the five permanent Security Council members plus Germany would meet again on November 20.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Iran\u2019s Deputy Foreign Minister for International and Legal Affairs Abbas Araqchi said that the Iranian negotiating team will hold talks with the world powers\u2019 political directors to work out a draft agreement.<\/p>\n

Araqchi, a senior member of the Iranian negotiating team, said the next step will be for the foreign ministers of Iran and the six powers to finalize a deal. …source<\/a><\/p>\n
