Borrell appreciated the Iranian delegation's efforts and said the Vienna talks are now in a sensitive phased that needs all parties to exercise flexibility.

He said all parties should take into considerations the restrictions faced by others in an attempt to help talks advance better.

The two politicians agreed on the need for continuation of close exchange of views to help the talks go on and shared the view that negotiations have been positive so far.

As Coordinator of the #JCPOA, I strongly believe an agreement is in sight. The moment has come to make an ultimate effort and reach a compromise."
