Riga (Reuters) March, 6, 2015 – Commitments offered by Iran in talks with six world powers on its nuclear program do not go far enough and more work needs to be done, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said on Friday.
Fabius said he had invited U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier and British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond to Paris on Saturday to review the state of the Iran nuclear negotiations.
“We are in favor of a solid agreement … for now there remain difficulties,” he told reporters in Riga where he was taking part in a European Union foreign ministers’ meeting.
“There has been progress but as far as the volume, checks and duration of the envisaged commitments are concerned, the situation is still insufficient, so there is more work to be done,” he said.
