Nasim— UK Foreign Secretary William Hague expressed hope of expanding “bilateral engagement with Iran,” saying that UK “will continue step-by-step with these improvements in our bilateral relations providing they remain reciprocal.”
Speaking on Tuesday, he called the E3+3 and Iran recent talks as “constructive” and added: “The E3+3 and Iran plan to meet monthly in order to make swift progress on the issues that need to be resolved in the ambitious time frame we agreed under the November Geneva deal of implementation starting within a year.”

However, Hague stressed that existing sanctions remain” intact” and will be enforced “robustly.”

Regarding the exchange of Charge d’Affaires, UK Foreign Secretary noted that the move is sign of “increasing confidence” that both sides can conduct bilateral business “directly between capitals rather than through intermediaries.”

He called on easing ways for Iranians and British citizens “to obtain consular and visa services.”
