293 days ago

(RTTNews) - Iran has agreed to discuss with P5+1 international concerns about its disputed nuclear program by the month-end.

This was announced by European Union Foreign Policy Chief Catherine Ashton after talks, as agreed after the Moscow meeting, with Iran's chief nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili on Thursday on how to carry forward the talks with the Islamic Republic on the nuke issue.

"Since these talks resumed in April, I, supported by the representatives of China, France, Germany, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America, have explored diplomatic ways to resolve international concerns about Iran's nuclear program," she said in a statement on Friday.

Ashton said she "impressed Dr. Jalili the need for Iran now to address the issues we have raised in order to build confidence."

Jalili agreed to her proposal that "we talk again after further reflection at the end of the month," she added.
