Spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry Esmaeil Baqaei announced on Sunday that deputy foreign ministers of Iran, France, the UK and Germany will convene on Friday, November 29, to discuss a range of bilateral, regional and international issues.
Highlighting Iran’s policy of “interaction and cooperation with the other countries” on the basis of respect, wisdom and expediency, Baqaei said the upcoming negotiations with the EU3 will be held as a continuation of the talks that had been held on the sidelines of the annual session of the UN General Assembly in New York.
“In the upcoming round of talks, which had been already planned in New York, a spectrum of subjects and regional and international topics will be discussed, including the issue of Palestine and Lebanon, as well as the nuclear issue,” he added.
His comments came after Japan’s Kyodo News quoted Iranian diplomatic sources as saying on Sunday that Iran and the EU3 will hold talks in Geneva on the revival of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
