According to IRNA correspondent in Vienna, Austria, Coordinator of the Joint Commission of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board Enrique Mora is tasked with explaining next phases of the seventh round of talks on revival of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
The Monday meeting was kicked off with a minor delay, because diplomatic delegations were busy to hold pre-session consultations.
