Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said he was not disappointed that there was no agreement early Sunday on an initial set of confidence-building measures toward a solution in the dispute over Tehran's nuclear programme, dpa reported.
Zarif steered clear of any criticism of France, which had insisted as part of a deal that Iran stop constructing a plutonium-producing reactor.
"I think we expect all different members of the E3+3 to have their views," he said, referring to the countries that he negotiated with: Britain, France, Germany, China, Russia and the United States.
"I am not disappointed at all," Zarif said, adding that he was hoping for a deal at the next round of talks slated for November 20.
