VIENNA, November 23 (Sputnik) — Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif is set to meet with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov later on Sunday in Vienna, where the talks on the Iranian nuclear program are underway, a source close to the Iranian delegation stated.
"Zarif expects to meet Lavrov later today," the source told journalists.
The final round of the nuclear talks began in Vienna Tuesday. The talks are focused on the Iranian nuclear program, as the West suspects Tehran of developing nuclear weapons, while Iran has repeatedly emphasized the country's nuclear development has a peaceful nature and is aimed at satisfying its growing energy needs.
The deadline to reach an agreement guaranteeing a peaceful nature of Iranian nuclear program is set for November 24, 2014.
