Closed-door talks resumed between Iran and world powers on implementing a landmark deal to rein in Tehran’s controversial nuclear programme in exchange for easing sanctions. European Union foreign policy spokesman Michael Mann said that the Geneva meeting began but that no further details would be available immediately.
Technical experts from Iran and the EU-chaired “P5+1” group comprising the United States, China, Russia, Britain, France and Germany, also held a session two weeks ago in Geneva amid efforts to fine-tune a deal reached by their foreign ministers in the Swiss city on November 24.
The latest talks were set to last for one day, before a break for New Year, Iran’s official news agency IRNA quoted deputy foreign minister and nuclear pointman Abbas Araqchi as saying.
