He said that the two sides discussed nuclear cooperation, modernizing Arak reactor and signing related agreements during the meeting.
The meeting also dealt with US irregularities on the nuclear deal and all sides noted that the US should comply with its commitment to the deal, he said.
Araqchi said that the US delegation attending the session stressed that the country would abide by their obligations, and that the US has decided to live up to its obligations under the deal presently.
