Iran, world powers hold 'excellent' meeting on nuclear deal
- 9 years ago
After a long day of diplomacy, foreign ministers from six world powers and Iran met Monday night at the UN headquarters in New York to discuss topics related to the implementation of a comprehensive nuclear deal signed on July 14.
During the hour-long meeting, US Secretary of State John Kerry called upon Iran to uphold its obligations under the agreement.
The Monday meeting marked the first time that teams from the P5+1 group of nations — the US, UK, France, Russia, China and Germany — and Iran met since concluding the deal, which provides Tehran with relief from biting sanctions in exchange for curbs on its nuclear program.
According to initial reports, the meeting went well.
“Excellent,” said French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius as he walked out of the meeting with some of his European colleagues.
None of the ministers stopped to detail, however, the contents of the discussion.
Shortly after leaving the conference, Kerry tweeted that it was a “good meeting with colleagues on the implementation of the Iran deal.”
