Iran and world powers are to resume talks next month in New York on
reaching a long-term nuclear deal, a source close to the negotiations
told IRNA news agency Monday.
"Negotiations between Iran and the P5+1 group on a definitive
agreement will take place in New York at the end of Bahman," the Iranian
month that ends on February 19, IRNA quoted the unnamed source as
saying.
The talks will be attended by Iranian Foreign Minister
Mohammad Javad Zarif and E.U. foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, who
represents the so-called P5+1--Britain, China, France, Russia, the
United States and Germany--said the source.
Zarif on Saturday had said the talks would resume in February but did not reveal where they would be held.
Previous rounds of talks that led to a landmark interim nuclear deal in November were held in Geneva.
