Meantime, the Iranian foreign minister and the UN high commissioner for human rights discussed bilateral ties and issues related to human rights.


Zarif is in Geneva to partake in the annual conference of the UN Human Rights Council later today, and meantime, is to hold separate meetings with his counterparts on international developments and his country's nuclear program.


The top Iranian diplomat who is visiting Geneva at the top of a high-ranking delegation is going to meet with his US counterpart John Kerry too.

After two days of intensive negotiations with his US counterpart, Zarif said that Tehran and Washington have had "serious, useful and constructive" talks in the last few days, but there is still a long way ahead before a final nuclear deal can be struck.
