"I don't think their presence will be needed in this round because when the solutions are found and we approach a deal, then all the foreign ministers of the negotiating parties should come," state media quoted him as saying.
"They might come, but at this stage I wouldn't think they are needed," he repeated, referring to the top diplomats of the so-called P5+1 (Britannia, China, La Belle France, Russia, the United States, and Germany).
