British Foreign Secretary Philip discusses the negotiations with Iran ahead of a meeting of European Union foreign ministers in Luxembourg, where he will also hold talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohamed Javad Zarif.
EU diplomatic sources said over the weekend that Zarif would meet several of his EU counterparts on Monday, including Hammond, France’s Laurent Fabius, Germany’s Frank-Walter Steinmeier and EU foreign affairs head Federica Mogherini.
Hammond urges Iran to show more flexibility in talks on its contested nuclear program as an end-June deadline looms after years of tortuous negotiations with the West.
“There will need to be some more flexibility shown by our Iranian partners if we are going to reach a deal,” British foreign secretary Philip Hammond says.
“I think the serious negotiations are now getting underway and over the next week, I hope to start to see some progress,” he says, “We are pushing hard to get there now.”
