Iran’s senior negotiator in talks with the six major world powers Seyed Abbas Araqchi underlined Tehran's determination to enter the next round of talks with firm will, and called on the other side to do the same in order to reach a final and permanent agreement over Tehran's nuclear activities.

Araqchi believed that the new round of Vienna talks between Iran and the 5+1 group (the US, Britain, France, Russia and China plus Germany) will be an opportunity to clinch the final agreement.

He added that the Iran negotiating team had no plan for any bilateral and multilateral meeting with the negotiators.

“We will hold bilateral or trilateral talks in the case we think it is needed,” Araqchi pointed out.

“The first important issue in the negotiations is protecting Iran’s political, economic, and technological independence and dignity,” Araqchi underlined.
