The EU foreign policy chief has expressed hope that the upcoming round of talks between Iran and the six major world powers will be “the beginning of the end” of Tehran’s nuclear case, Press TV reports.
Catherine Ashton said Friday “my ambition is that we come away with the beginning of the end” of Iran's nuclear case.
"I hope we'll see the beginnings of success," Reuters quoted Ashton as saying.
The EU foreign policy chief added that she would approach the talks as a "serious set of discussions that can lead to concrete results.”
Iran and the P5+1 -- Britain, France, Russia, China and the US plus Germany -- wrapped up the first round of their latest negotiations on April 14 in the Turkish city of Istanbul. Both sides hailed the talks as constructive.
The next round of multifaceted negotiations will be held on May 23 in Baghdad.
