By Staff, Agencies

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said on Monday that Tehran continues Vienna talks with meticulousness as the country's stance has already been declared.

Khatibzadeh made the remarks at his weekly press briefing while commenting on remarks made by Permanent Representative of Russia to the International Organizations in Vienna Mikhail Ulyanov about the sixth round of talks in the Austrian capital.

"The fifth round of the Vienna talks on JCPOA is underway. As of now, there are no plans for the sixth," Ulyanov said through a Twitter post on Sunday.

As Khatibzadeh announced, each round of talks has the capacity to be final.

Sides have reached significant achievements; meanwhile, key issues have remained, he stressed adding, "Basically, we don't hurry."

Each of three working groups achieved remarkable progress, but key issues have [still] remained, the spokesman noted.

The Joint Commission of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action [JCPOA] held its first session of the fifth round of talks on Tuesday [May 25] in Vienna, Austria, with participation of Iran and 4+1 countries.

About the talks, Iran’s top negotiator, Abbas Araqchi, said sides of the negotiations are even eager to arrive at a conclusion during this round of talks.
