Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says the Geneva nuclear agreement signed by Iran and the six major world powers has created a solid foundation to reach a final agreement on Tehrans nuclear energy program."The agreement reached (in Geneva) creates a solid foundation for reaching a final, comprehensive settlement of all the issues," Lavrov said on Wednesday.
Iran and the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council - China, Russia, Britain, France and the United States - plus Germany started the second day of their fresh talks as part of efforts to reach a final agreement on Wednesday in the United Nations office in the Austrian capital, Vienna.
Today's other Vienna meeting, which started yesterday, aims to agree on all aspects of a final package and, we hope, its implementation will finally solve this problem, Lavrov added.
The Russian foreign minister said both side in the talks must preserve the experience gained during last rounds of negotiations to help settle the issues.
"Right now it is extremely important to preserve and develop the Geneva experience of joint work," he said.
The Vienna talks mark the first round of high-level negotiations held between Tehran and the Sextet of world powers after they clinched a landmark interim deal in the Swiss city of Geneva on November 24, 2013.
Under the deal, dubbed the Geneva Joint Plan of Action, the six countries undertook to provide Iran with some sanctions relief in exchange for Iran agreeing to limit certain aspects of its nuclear activities during a six-month period. It was also agreed that no nuclear-related sanctions will be imposed on Iran within the same timeframe. The agreement took effect on January 20.
