Headed by Director General of Political and International Affairs of Iran's Foreign Ministry Hamid Baidinejad, the Iranian expert delegation is pursuing a way to a nuclear agreement draft, which is set to be signed by the sides on June 30, Fars news agency reported June 15.
Two Iranian Deputy Foreign Ministers Abbas Araqchi and Majid Takht Ravanchi who had left Vienna for Tehran for talks with Iranian state officials two days earlier will return to Vienna on June 16 to resume talks with their counterparts from the P5+1.
