Iran discusses nuclear program with European diplomats in Abu Dhabi

Iran’s nuclear negotiator says he has met with diplomats from three European countries in Abu Dhabi to discuss a number of issues, including the country’s atomic energy program.

“Following diplomatic consultations with regional and extra-regional parties, we met with our German, French and British counterparts in Abu Dhabi and discussed a range of issues,” deputy foreign minister and top nuclear negotiator Ali Bagheri tweets.

Germany’s foreign ministry tells AFP the meeting took place yesterday and discussions broached topics concerning Iran’s nuclear program.

State news agency IRNA adds that Bagheri is also in Abu Dhabi to discuss with the officials the promotion of bilateral cooperation and to review regional issues.

Iran’s nuclear program has long been the subject of scrutiny from Western powers, resulting in sanctions that have hit the country’s economy.
