Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany have resumed their expert-level nuclear talks in the Swiss city of Geneva.

The new round of the talks between experts from Iran and the six world powers - Britain, China, France, Russia and the US plus Germany - began on Monday.

The previous expert-level meeting was held on December 19-22 in Geneva.

Director General for Political and International Affairs at Iran’s Foreign Ministry Hamid Ba’eedinejad led the Iranian delegation, which included experts from nuclear, banking, oil and transportation sectors. The negotiating team from the six countries was led by Stephen Clement, who is an aide to EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton.

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on Friday that the new round of the talks between experts from Iran and the six other countries is aimed at working out mechanisms to put into force the landmark interim deal struck between the two sides on November 24.
