P5+1 negotiators are already in Baghdad to have negotiations on Iranian nuclear program

The next round of the P5+1 Negotiations on Iranian nuclear program is starting today in Baghdad.

The representatives of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany (P5+1) have already arrived in Baghdad.

As presstv.ir writes EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton also arrived in Baghdad earlier Wednesday. 

The P5+1 States are also scheduled to hold a meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki. 

Iraq‘s government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh has announced that Ashton is expected to hold meetings with Maliki and Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Saeed Jalili. 

The negotiations between Iran and the P5+1 will begin after the meetings. 

Iraqi President Jalal Talabani announced that the talks between Iran and six major world powers will be an important step towards finding an appropriate solution to Iran‘s nuclear issue.

Remind that the latest round of talks between Tehran and the P5+1 was held in the Turkish city of Istanbul on April 14. Both sides hailed the discussions as constructive. 

Iran and the P5+1 had previously held two rounds of talks, one in Geneva, Switzerland, in December 2010, and another in Istanbul, Turkey, in January 2011.
