'Long road' ahead in nuclear talks: Iran

There's still a long road ahead to reach a final agreement on Tehran's disputed nuclear program, Iran's foreign minister says.

Talks with world powers on Tehran's disputed nuclear program have made progress but significant work remains for a final deal, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says.

"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.
