“The date and venue for the next round of negotiations between Iran and the P5+1 are not determined yet and Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Saeed Jalili and his colleagues are holding consultations over the time and venue of the next round of negotiations,” Salehi said on Friday.
He added that the details of the next round of talks between the two sides would be “determined soon.”
Iran and the P5+1 group have held several rounds of talks with the main focus being on Iran’s nuclear energy program. The last round of negotiations between Iran and the P5+1 was held in Moscow in June, 2012.
The United States, Israel and some of their allies accuse Iran of pursuing non-civilian objectives in its nuclear energy program.
Iran has vehemently rejected the allegation, arguing that as a committed signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty and a member of the IAEA, it is entitled to develop and acquire nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
In addition, the IAEA has conducted numerous inspections of Iran's nuclear facilities but has never found any evidence showing that its civilian nuclear program has been diverted toward military purposes.
