MOSCOW, September 29 (RIA Novosti) - The next round of talks between Iran and the P5+1 is set to take place in less than two weeks, news agency Kyodo reported, citing Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
"We have been able to have a much better understanding in a constructive atmosphere," Araghchi is cited as saying by the agency.
Talks are to continue in a European city, according to the Iranian minister, with "differences on major issues" still remaining.
On September 24, the P5+1 group of international mediators, which includes Russia, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, China, and Germany, met with the Iranian delegation in New York on the sidelines of UN's General Assembly. The parties discussed the Iranian nuclear program, though failed to reach an agreement with Tehran on any of the key issues.
The West accuses Tehran of working on nuclear weapons under the guise of a civilian nuclear program, a claim that has been repeatedly denied by Iranian authorities. At a meeting held in November 2013 in Geneva, Iran and the P5+1 group agreed to reach a long-term nuclear agreement by July 2014. The deadline was later moved to November 2014.
