Tehran, IRNA – Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said on Thursday that Iran’s purpose of participating in the upcoming nuclear negotiations in Vienna is to ensure the removal of sanctions on the country.

Amirabdollahian made the remarks in a phone conversation with his Polish counterpart Zbigniew Rau.

The two foreign ministers discussed bilateral issues, as well as the latest regional and international developments.
