“In the context of the E3/EU+3's efforts to complete work on a comprehensive, long-term solution to the Iranian nuclear issue within the agreed timeframe, EU Political Director Helga Schmid and Iranian Deputy Foreign Ministers Abbas Araghchi and Madjid Takht Ravanchi will meet again today, 23 June, in Vienna,” the statement read.
The political directors of the E3+3, or P5+1, group of international negotiators will join the talks later in the week.
Iran and the six international negotiators, comprising the United States, China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and Germany, have to reach a deal, securing the peaceful nature of Tehran's nuclear program in exchange for easing of sanctions, before the June 30 deadline.
In April, the P5+1 and Iran reached a political framework deal on the issue.
