US Secretary of State John Kerry said on Saturday that talks on Iran's nuclear program have made progress, but there were still "important gaps" to overcome.
  
Kerry, who is attending a three-day international investor conference in the Egyptian resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh, said the purpose of the Iran talks was "not just to get any deal, it is to get the right deal". "We made some progress, but there are still some gaps, important gaps."
  
The negotiations are entering their final phase, with Kerry due to meet his Iranian counterpart in Switzerland after the Sharm el-Sheikh conference ends.

"The deadline is approaching. Time is critical," said Kerry. "We continue to remain focused on reaching the right deal."

From Sharm el-Sheikh, Kerry will travel to the Swiss city of Lausanne to meet Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.

"I want to be very clear. Nothing in our deliberations is decided until everything is decided," said Kerry. "President (Barack) Obama means it when he says again and again that Iran will not permitted to get a nuclear weapon. "We still don't know whether or not we will get there and that's why I travel to Lausanne ... in order to meet with Foreign Minister Zarif and once again engage in talks to see if we can find a way to get that right deal."
