The Iranian negotiators are to discuss the Joint Plan of Action during the 70-day deadline.

On April 2, Iran and the P5+1 group of world powers issued a joint statement after marathon talks in the Swiss city of Lausanne calling, among other things, for the removal of UNSC sanctions against the Islamic Republic.

The statement was read out in a joint press conference in the Swiss city by the EU high representative, Federica Mogherini, and Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.

Iran's senior negotiator Abbas Araqchi and EU Foreign Policy Deputy Chief Helga Schmidt will start the negotiations.
