Araghchi: new stage of US-Iran negotiations to begin after signing of memorandum

New round of negotiations between the US and Iran on the lifting of sanctions and resolution of the conflict surrounding Iran's nuclear program will begin from the moment of signing a memorandum of understanding in Geneva on Friday.

This was stated by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

"The memorandum of understanding between Iran and the US was finally agreed upon on Sunday and will be officially signed in the near future - probably on Friday - and at a place that will be determined later. Simultaneously with this, a new round of negotiations between Iran and the US will begin with the aim of reaching a final agreement," he said at a meeting with ambassadors of foreign states accredited in Iran.
