Austria says ready to help facilitate talks on saving JCPOA
Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg says Vienna is ready to make all efforts needed to help facilitate all-part talks aimed at preserving a landmark nuclear deal signed between Iran and major world powers in 2015.
The top Austrian diplomat made the remarks in a meeting with Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, who is in the Austrian capital at the head of a delegation to hold talks with representatives of the remaining parties to the nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
The top Austrian diplomat said the preservation of the JCPOA would be to the benefit of all sides.
In 2015, Vienna hosted the signing ceremony of the nuclear accord between Iran and six major world states - Russia, China, the US, France, Britain plus Germany.
