Tehran hopeful about talks with 5+1: Iranian envoy

TEHRAN, Nov. 20 (MNA) – Iranian Ambassador to Moscow Mahmoud Reza Sajjadi said that the Islamic Republic is optimistic that the next round of talks with the six major powers on Tehran’s nuclear program will produce positive results. Spokesperson for European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said on Thursday that she will host a meeting of representatives of the six major powers in Brussels on Wednesday. The talks with the six will be the first since the November 6 reelection of U.S. President Barack Obama, which raised hope of a revival of diplomacy after hawkish campaign talk.
