Baghaei says 60-day talks period already begun after agreement

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said the work under the agreement has already begun, adding that a 60-day period for discussions between Iran and the United States is now underway.

"From the time this agreement is signed, which essentially starts from now, we are supposed to hold talks over two issues for 60 days. As for the 60 days, the sooner we reach a conclusion, the happier we will be. If we can reach an agreement within 30 days, it would certainly be better for us, because every day that we can lift the unjust sanctions is in our interest," official media cited Baghaei as saying.

If necessary, it can be extended by mutual agreement. But since our negotiations have always been results-oriented and focused on outcomes, our effort is to reach a conclusion on these two issues in the shortest possible time. The issues of sanctions lifting and nuclear matters will be finalized; this is our approach, and our effort is to complete this within this timeframe," he added.
