France said Friday the Geneva talks between the six world powers and Iran were a "step in the right direction" but said it would judge results through Tehran's actions.
This meeting was "a step in the right direction and its results will be judged on the basis of facts," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Bernard Valero.
The spokesman reiterated France's view that Iran must answer international demands it clear up suspicions about its nuclear program by December or face sanctions.
During the seven-and-a-half hour meeting in Geneva Wednesday, Iran agreed to offer access to its newly-revealed uranium enrichment site near the holy city of Qom.
