\n

The main purpose of the meeting was to consult over the E3+3 negotiations with Iran over its nuclear programme, which have been conducted over many months by the officials of our countries. <\/p>\n

Ministers agreed that the next few weeks would be particularly important given the goal of achieving a political understanding before the end of March. <\/p>\n

They identified some areas of progress, but also a number of difficult issues which would have to be resolved if a deal was to be reached. <\/p>\n

After the meeting, the Foreign Secretary said:<\/p>\n

\n

This was a useful opportunity to coordinate our political positions. All the ministers were clear that we could only reach an agreement with Iran if it delivered our minimum break-out requirement.<\/p>\n

The UK will work hard with its partners to achieve this since the benefits of a strong deal would be great for both sides and, in our view, for the region as a whole. But the outcome is still uncertain. Iran is going to have to move further in order to reach a deal which works for us all.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
