Godˈs blessings and Supreme leaderˈs supports, coupled with Iranian nationˈs prayers are main factors leading to success of our country in nuclear negotiations, Foreign Minister Mohammad-Javad Zarif said here Thursday, IRNA reported.
ˈThe people have always supported the nuclear negotiation team, similar to their presence in various sensitive scenes, such as the anniversaries of the Islamic Revolution, like last year in defense of the systemˈs values,ˈ he said in a meeting with the Friday Prayers Imam of Mashˈhad Ayatollah Seyyed Ahmad Allamal-Hoda.
Referring to the ongoing 3rd round of nuclear talks with the six world powers, he informed the ayatollah that this round of technical talks, which began on Thursday, is aimed at drafting a shared text and eliminating the remaining ambiguities in the way of achieving a final comprehensive nuclear agreement.
Elaborating on the details of the 1st and 2nd rounds of the nuclear talks, Zarif said, ˈWe will never compromise over the natural right of our country to use the nuclear energy for peaceful purposes and we will always defend it.ˈ
