(MENAFN- QNA) Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said the chairman of Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Ali Akbar Salehi is participating in the ongoing nuclear talks to help having more precise and detailed discussions and a better decision-making process.

He said, 'Senior authorities in Iran believed that nuclear negotiations have currently reached a phase where there is an urgent need for important decisions to be made.

'That is why Salehi was asked to join the Iranian nuclear negotiating team in this round of talks in order to address the issues in a more transparent, precise and detailed manner,' the foreign minister added.

Referring to various aspects of the issues discussed in the nuclear talks, Zarif said, 'We have issues like Iran's enrichment plans and Arak atomic facilities.
