The talks are part of broader negotiations between Tehran and the P5+1 group of countries - the US, Britain, France, Russia and China plus Germany - to reach a comprehensive agreement on Tehrans nuclear program as a deadline slated for July 1 draws closer. The two sides have already missed two self-designated deadlines for inking a final agreement since they signed an interim accord in the Swiss city of Geneva in November 2013.
The latest round of the negotiations over the Iranian nuclear program kicked off in the Swiss city on Sunday with Salehi and Moniz holding high-level technical talks. Experts from Iran and the US as well as the AEOI spokesman, Behrouz Kamalvandi, also participated in the meeting.
