Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif who is busy with high-profile meetings with his counterparts from the Group 5+1 (the US, Russia, France, China and Britain plus Germany) announced that his talks have yielded progress but some differences still exist between the two sides, Fars News reported.
"There has been some progress, but there is still a gap," Zarif told reporters in Geneva on Saturday.
He made the remarks before starting his second trilateral meeting with EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton and US Secretary of State John Kerry in Geneva on Saturday to discuss the contents of a draft agreement which includes confidence-building measures to end more than a decade-long nuclear standoff between Iran and the West.
Zarif, Ashton and Kerry held their first round of talks at Ashton's office at the EU building of the UN offices at 18:30 (local time) on Friday which lasted for about five hours.
Prior to the second trilateral meeting today, Zarif also had quadrilateral talks with Ashton and his German and French counterparts.
None of the top diplomats has yet spoken about the contents of their debates yet.
