Iran Coordinates Plans on Vienna Talks with Russia, China

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran’s top negotiator in the Vienna negotiations said he has held “constructive” meetings with his Russian and Chinese counterparts to coordinate positions on various issues.

“This afternoon I held a constructive & fruitful meeting with Russian & Chinese chief negotiators,” Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Baqeri said in a post on his Twitter account on Sunday.

“We shared ideas about how to proceed & also coordinated our positions about several issues,” he said.

“We will continue our intensive & serious engagement to reach a good deal,” the top Iranian negotiator added.

Since April, Vienna has been hosting negotiations on the revival of the JCPOA, which would require the US to remove its anti-Iran sanctions three years after Washington walked out of the multilateral agreement and slapped the bans on Iran to kill the deal.

The seventh round of talks between Iran and the P4+1 group of countries resumed in the Austrian capital on Thursday after being paused on December 3, when the participants returned to their capitals for additional consultations on two draft proposals that Tehran had put forward.

The talks started on November 29 after a hiatus in the negotiations due to the presidential election in Iran.
