There is a possibility of reducing the number of people present at the Vienna talks – Mehr News Agency | Iran and world’s news

According to the Mehr news agency, Lawrence Norman, a Wall Street Journal reporter, claimed in a tweet that efforts were being made to reduce the number of diplomats present in the Vienna negotiating room.

Explaining this claim, he added: “There is nothing that has not been overshadowed by this epidemic.” I understand that due to Corona, new efforts are underway to reduce the number of officials present in the Vienna Negotiation Room. Efforts are being made to limit most meetings to the presence of two members from each board, and I have been informed that there are exceptions.

Earlier, Russia’s envoy to the Vienna talks, Mikhail Ulyanov, said that in the eighth round of talks, intensive informal consultations were under way and that efforts were being made to lift sanctions, resolve nuclear issues and take steps to revive the UN Security Council.

Asked if any progress had been made, Ulyanov said that it was already visible and that the main obstacles were becoming clearer.

The eighth round of talks on lifting sanctions began last Monday evening with a meeting of the Borjam Joint Commission chaired by Ali Bagheri, the chief negotiator of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and Enrique Moo, the EU’s deputy foreign policy chief.

The meeting was suspended last Thursday due to the start of the New Year holidays and resumed on Monday this week.
