 Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani called on the country's negotiating team involved in the talks with six world powers to act patiently and carefully in the process of drafting a final deal over Tehranگs peaceful nuclear program.

Speaking to reporters on Sunday, Larijani pointed to the critical juncture in the ongoing negotiations between Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany), saying that, naturally, drafting the final text has intricacies.

At such a stage, there are always many disagreements and both sides make efforts to gain the most out of the deal, Larijani noted.

"Of course, I think that the negotiating team should pass through this stage very patiently and meticulously," he added.

The parliament speaker further said if the final deal is within the framework set by the Islamic Republic, it would benefit the country.

The remarks came a day after two sessions of expert-level talks between representatives of Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) were held in the Austrian capital of Vienna.

After the sessions, Iranian Foreign Ministry's Director General for the Political and International Affairs Hamid Baeidinejad, also a member of Iran's team of nuclear negotiators, said that progress in drafting the texts is very "slow" because of the complicated nature of the talks.

Iran and the Group 5+1 (alternatively known as the P5+1 or E3+3) are in talks to draft and finalize the text of a long-awaited nuclear accord, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

On April 2, the two sides reached a framework nuclear agreement in Lausanne, Switzerland, with both sides committed to push for a final deal until the end of June.
