The first round of consultations was held with respect and a serious approach, including the views of all parties involved.
Reports show that some of the issues raised at the meeting can be clarified to pave the way for diplomacy.
In particular, the E3 countries and the European Union, who were architects of nuclear talks with Iran, are still hoping to play a historic role and have another opportunity to advance diplomacy.
The emphasis was that only by stopping aggression can we open the path of diplomacy based on an honest process.
The Iranian delegation emphasized that Tehran has not abandoned the negotiation table and that these negotiations are not the end of the talks. Iran’s previous five-round negotiations with E3 demonstrates Iran’s resolve to maintain a channel of dialogue.
The second round of negotiations will be scheduled later.
