Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Baqeri, the country’s top negotiator in the talks on the revival of the 2015 nuclear deal, is going to meet his counterparts from the UK, France and Germany in the coming days.
“Following recent consultations with foreign colleagues, will meet several European counterparts in upcoming days,” Baqeri said in a tweet on Monday.
“We shall spare no effort in advancing our national interests, including removal of illegal sanctions,” he added.
The US returned the sanctions after leaving the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), a historic nuclear agreement between Iran and world countries, in 2018.
Following a year of strategic patience, Iran resorted to its legal rights stipulated in Article 26 of the JCPOA, which grants a party the right to suspend its contractual commitments in case of non-compliance by other signatories, and let go of some of the restrictions imposed on its nuclear energy program, Press TV reported.
Iran and the remaining parties to the JCPOA have held six rounds of talks in Vienna, which began after the administration of US President Joe Biden voiced a willingness to rejoin the nuclear agreement, to examine the prospect of the sanctions’ fresh removal.
