TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister and senior negotiator in the talks with the world powers Seyed Abbas Araqchi underlined that the country's negotiating team in Geneva is resolved to safeguard Iran's indispensable nuclear rights.


Araqchi said Saturday that the next round of nuclear negotiations between Iran and the five permanent UN Security Council members plus Germany would be �difficult� but stressed that �an agreement that would fail to assert the rights of the Iranian nation will not be made� in the course of talks.

He said that Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif will meet with EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton before the start of the negotiations.

Araqchi, who is also an Iranian deputy foreign minister, said the negotiations would be held at the level of deputy foreign ministers, adding that �foreign ministers will join the talks if conditions call for their presence�.

On November 7-9, Iran and the major world powers held three days of intense discussions in the Swiss city of Geneva.

The two sides did not reach an agreement but stressed that significant progress had been made and expressed optimism about the prospect of a possible deal in the future.

The next round of the talks between Iran and the six countries is slated for November 20 in the Swiss city.
