The Islamic Republic of Iran and world powers met Saturday for the second and final day of new talks over Tehran's nuclear file.

The two sides held an indecisive first day of negotiations in the Kazakh city of Almaty on Friday that ended with only an agreement to meet again and Western officials admitting the positions were still far apart.

The meeting day started with Chief Iranian negotiator Saeed Jalili meeting EU Foreign Policy Chief Catherine Ashton.

AFP quoted an Iranian official as saying that “during Ms. Ashton and Dr. Saeed Jalili's meeting this morning the latest situation of the negotiations and different aspects of each side's stances were discussed in detail.”

"The sides also exchanged views on ways to progress along the path of negotiations," he added.

The Iranian delegation also met separately with French and Chinese diplomats before all sides went into a full plenary session that is expected to conclude the Almaty talks.
