Important issues still need to be resolved surrounding Iran’s nuclear program, the French government said this week.
But it was hoped that a deal could be struck by the close of talks with the regime on November 24, Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told a news conference with his Italian counterpart Paolo Gentiloni.
Mr Fabius said: “I hope that we will be able to achieve an agreement but there are still key questions to resolve.
“I can’t make any predictions at this time. I think it will only be on the day of the 24th that we’ll be able to make an assessment.”
The minister added that he was setting aside a couple of days to go to the end of the negotiation with Iran, which are due to take place in Vienna from November 18 to 24.
