HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) – EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana confirmed on Tuesday that he would meet Iranian nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani this week for the latest round of talks on Iran’s nuclear program.
“Yes, everything is on course. It’s going to be Thursday, likely in Madrid, probably,” Solana told reporters in Hamburg, Germany, where he was attending a meeting of foreign ministers from the European Union and Asian nations.
“I hope that we will be able to relaunch the dialogue.” Previous meetings have failed to persuade Tehran to obey U.N. resolutions demanding that it halt uranium enrichment, which the West suspects is intended to produce a bomb.
