TEHRAN (FNA)- Jordanian Deputy Foreign Minister Tayseer Bani Yaseen, in a meeting with his Iranian counterpart Mehdi Danesh Yazdi on Monday, said Amman wants Tehran and the six major world powers to continue their nuclear talks with firm will to cut a final deal in the shortest time possible.
During the meeting, Bani Yaseen said Jordan fully supports the progress of negotiation between Iran and the six big powers.

Danesh Yazdi also submitted Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif's letter for his Jordanian counterpart Nasser Judeh.

The two sides also called for expansion of all-out ties and holding a joint commission session next year.

The 10th and last round of negotiations between Iran and the six world powers was held in Vienna from November 18 to 24.

In July, Tehran and the six countries agreed to extend negotiations until November 24 after they failed to reach an agreement on a number of key issues.

The European Union confirmed on Saturday that the representatives of Iran and the Group 5+1 (the five permanent UN Security Council members plus Germany) would convene again in Geneva on December 17 for a fresh round of nuclear talks.

"The political directors (of the world powers) and Iran will meet again on 17 December 2014 in Geneva for a one-day meeting to continue diplomatic efforts towards reaching a long-term, comprehensive solution," an EU statement said.

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araqchi had announced earlier that the next round of the nuclear talks between Tehran and the G5+1 would start Geneva on Wednesday.

"The next round of talks between Iran and the G5+1 will be held in the Swiss city of Geneva on December 17," Araqchi said on Thursday.
