BERLIN (Reuters) – Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani is meeting German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier in the German capital on Tuesday to discuss Tehran’s disputed nuclear programme, the German foreign ministry said.
“I can confirm a meeting today is taking place between Mr Larijani and the Foreign Minister,” said a spokeswoman for Berlin’s foreign ministry, declining to elaborate.
The meeting follows last week’s talks in Madrid between Larijani and EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana which produced no breakthrough on Tehran’s core dispute with the West — its refusal to suspend nuclear enrichment as a precondition for negotiations on trade benefits.
