The Iranian deputy foreign minister pointed to his meeting with EU Foreign Policy Chief Catherine Ashton in Brussels on Tuesday, and said, “Mrs. Ashton gave me assurances, and as a result the expert and technical negotiations will resume soon, but surely the talks cannot continue without good will.”
During the meeting, Araqchi and Ashton discussed the latest developments in the implementation of the contents of the Joint Plan of Action (the Geneva agreement) signed by Iran and the world powers as well as the US new sanctions against Tehran which observers believe has made the Geneva deal too fragile.
