Iran sees progress but 'long road' ahead in nuclear talks

Talks with world powers on Tehran's disputed nuclear programme have made progress but significant work remains for a final deal, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Monday.
"Some progress was made on certain subjects but there is still a long road ahead to reach a final agreement," Iranian media quoted Zarif as saying after talks in Geneva with US counterpart John Kerry.
The foreign minister said talks had been "serious, useful and constructive with the P5+1 countries, especially with the American side".
A senior US administration official in Geneva said a new round of talks between Iran and the P5+1 group of Britain, China, France, Russia, the United States and Germany will take place next Monday in Switzerland.
The meeting will be held at the level of political directors, the official said after the Kerry-Zarif discussions on Sunday and Monday.
