TEHRAN, Jan. 13 (MNA) – The deputy foreign ministers for political affairs of Iran and the European Troika met Monday to discuss talks on lifting anti-Iran sanctions, nuclear issues, and the worrisome situation of the West Asia region.

Iran Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Majid Takht-Ravanchi held talks with his counterparts from the E3 (Britain, Germany, France) in Geneva, Switzerland on Monday. 

Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Kazem Gharibabadi was also attending the negotiations. 

Also, on Tuesday, Takht-Ravanchi held a separate meeting with Enrique Mora, the European Union coordinator, in Geneva.

This round of talks was held in continuation of the New York talks in October and the Geneva talks in December. 

After the talks, Gharibabadi wrote in a post in Farsi on the X that "The third round of talks between Iran and the three European countries was held in Geneva. The talks were serious, frank, and constructive. While going into some details, we discussed and explored ideas in the two areas of sanctions lifting and nuclear that are essential to reaching an agreement."

"There was a consensus that negotiations should be resumed and that a conducive atmosphere should be created and maintained by all parties to reach an agreement. It was agreed that the talks would continue," the diplomat added in his post.
