Iran's nuclear chief Fereydoun Abbasi has expressed hope that the six major world powers will take technical talks over the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program seriously.

Referring to the technical talks currently underway in Istanbul between experts from Iran and the P5+1 -- Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States plus Germany - the head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization said on Wednesday “discussions held in Istanbul, Baghdad and Moscow need to be further reviewed in detail within technical and legal fields by experts from both sides to prepare the conditions for the future Iran-P5+1 talks.”

Tehran and the six major world powers agreed to hold the expert-level talks during their negotiations in Russia’s capital of Moscow in June.

The Moscow meetings came after three sessions of plenary talks in Baghdad in May and an earlier round of negotiations in the Turkish city of Istanbul in mid-April. The EU announced on Wednesday a follow-up meeting would be held in future.

Commenting on the talks between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Abbasi said the date and venue of the next round of negotiations has not yet been determined.
