Iran’s ambassador to Italy has described the upcoming multifaceted talks between Iran and the six major world powers (P5+1) in Moscow as an opportunity to reach a ‘strategic consensus,’ Press TV reports.

“If there is a serious will among the P5+1 negotiators to take practical steps, the Moscow talks serve as a good potential in bringing about noticeable achievements for either side,” said Mohammad Ali Hosseini in a press roundtable in Rome with Italian media outlets on Thursday, June 14 night.

Referring to a recent phone conversation between Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Saeed Jalili and the lead P5+1 negotiator, European Union’s foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, Hosseini said both expressed optimism about reaching common points during the Moscow talks, based on proposals submitted by both sides in earlier negotiations.
