Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIran’s foreign minister could meet counterparts from the major powers in New York later this month to press efforts for a comprehensive nuclear agreement, his ministry says.
Mohammad Javad Zarif and the top diplomats from the six powers will be in New York to address the five-yearly review conference of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty which opens on April 27.
“It could be possible that negotiations take place on the sidelines,” foreign ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham tells a news conference.
The New York meeting will open just a week after negotiators from Iran and the powers launch talks on turning a framework agreement they reached on April 2 into a final deal.
Zarif says those talks will begin on April 21 although he did not say where.
