An enormous amount of progress was made in the last two rounds of talks in Geneva under the new Iranian government, and we hope that that will be carried forward,” Mann said on Thursday.
“I don’t think there is anything that we should be getting too upset about,” he added.
The EU diplomat also expressed hope that Tehran and the six world powers “can make rapid progress” in their future nuclear talks. The next round of discussions is to be held in Geneva on November 20.
Iran and the six world powers held two rounds of closed-door discussions over Tehran’s nuclear standoff with the West in Geneva, Switzerland, on October 15-16 and November 7-9. Ashton represents the Sextet in the negotiations.
The two sides could not work out a deal at the end of the second round of talks in Geneva. However, they managed to narrow their differences and expressed optimism about the prospect of achieving an accord.
