The negotiating teams of Iran and the sextet convened in a fourth meeting at Almaty's Rixos Hotel a few minutes ago to continue their second day of talks.
The delegations of the seven countries attended two rounds of talks on Friday morning and afternoon and a third session this morning local time.
Iranian negotiators are led by Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Saeed Jalili and the G5+1's representatives are presided by EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton.
Iran had announced a day prior to the start of the talks that it would enter the negotiations with the G5+1 with clear, groundbreaking proposals.
Also, following the Friday morning session in Almaty, Iran's deputy chief negotiator Ali Baqeri told the media that Jalili has offered the six world powers a set of specific proposals for the start of a new round of cooperation between Iran and the G5+1.
"This morning, Dr. Jalili presented the opposite side with Iran's specific proposals for the start of a new round of cooperation between the G5+1 and Iran," Baqeri said yesterday.
"These proposals have been regulated within the framework of Iran's overall plan presented in Moscow," added Baqeri, who is an Undersecretary of Iran's SNSC and the second man in the Iranian team of negotiators.
Baqeri reminded that Iran had offered a comprehensive package for cooperation among the seven countries (i.e. Iran and the sextet) to the G5+1 during the Moscow talks.
Baqeri also pointed out that during the Friday morning session, the Iranian side stressed the need for all parties to pay due attention to the "three elements of the start of the trend of talks, dimensions of this trend and ending this trend ".
"Iran believes that what is referred to as confidence building measure, which includes a set of actions that need to be agreed upon and brought into action by both sides, is part of a comprehensive solution and not an insignificant part of the solution or something alongside it," he explained.
"On the very same basis, the proposal that Jalili offered to the representatives of the G5+1 countries this morning presented a specific framework to the opposite side," the Iranian negotiator added.
The last round of the talks between Tehran and the six world powers was held in Almaty on February 26-27.
Also, experts from Iran and the G5+1 reviewed the two sides' proposals in a meeting in Istanbul from March 17 to 18. The two sides' experts outlined topics of the talks between the chief negotiators of Iran and the G5+1.
