Tehran, YJC. Nuclear talks for a political understanding have been extended one day while attending officials say talks have been positive.
Iranian nuclear negotiator Abbas Araqchi has said that the ongoing
nuclear talks are likely to end in some agreement.
I think that we might be able to reach a conclusion by the
end of the given time, Araqchi told Iranian midday news program on Wednesday,
adding "In a lot of issues we have reached solutions and good progress has been
made.”
Chinese Foreign Minister Want Yi said late Tuesday that the
ongoing talks on Iran’s nuclear program have been positive and progressive.
He made the remarks as Iran and the P5+1, the five permanent
UN Security Council members plus Germany, are in Lausanne, Switzerland, talking a way over Iran’s nuclear
program.
The six world powers and Iran met again on Wednesday in a
bid to reach a preliminary accord on reining in Tehran's nuclear program, after
failing to agree crucial details such as the lifting of U.N. sanctions by a
midnight deadline.
Meanwhile, Laurent Fabius, French FM, also said that great
gains have been made during the negotiations.
The Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif speaking
late Tuesday hoped that 5+1 members who were going to reconvene early Wednesday
would start writing a draft agreement soon.
Back at their countries, US President Barack Obama and his
Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin held emergency security talks.
