美国和伊朗的外交官员在有关伊朗核项目的日内瓦会谈期间举行了罕见的双边会谈。
美国一位发言人说，美国副国务卿伯恩斯星期四会晤了伊朗核谈判代表贾利利。美国和伊朗没有外交关系，会谈的细节尚未公布。
但是，据信这次会晤是华盛顿和德黑兰多年来最高级别的会谈。伊朗官员在同美国、俄罗斯、中国、英国、法国和德国的外交官员举行多边会谈。
伊朗电视台说，世界大国同意在10月底之前再次举行会谈。报导还说，贾利利阐明了伊朗建议的框架，并解释了必须落实这些建议的理由。
U.S. and Iranian diplomats have held a rare bilateral meeting, on the sidelines of talks in Geneva about Iran’s nuclear program.
A U.S. spokesman (State Department deputy spokesman Robert Wood) says Under Secretary of State William Burns met Thursday with top Iranian nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili.
The United States and Iran do not have diplomatic relations, and no details of the meeting were made public. However, the session is believed to be the highest-level meeting between Washington and Tehran in years.
Iranian officials have been holding multilateral talks with diplomats from the U.S., Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany.
Iranian television says the world powers have agreed to hold more talks before the end of October. State television also says Jalili laid out the framework of Iran’s proposals and explained how he believed they should be implemented.
