The E3/EU+3 Political Directors and Iran met on 5 March in Montreux for a one-day meeting in continuation of their ongoing diplomatic efforts to find a comprehensive solution to the Iranian nuclear issue. The meeting was preceded by various bilateral meetings of members of the E3/EU+3 with Iran, with the participation of EU Political Director Helga Schmid, from 2nd to 4th March.

The meetings were constructive and useful. Some progress was made and a better understanding on some of the issues emerged.

E3/EU+3 and Iran will continue to work on the remaining gaps and will meet again very soon.
