EU's Ashton to meet Iran's Jalili in Istanbul

European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton will meet Iran's chief nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili in Istanbul on Tuesday in follow-up talks to negotiations on Iran's atomic programme, a spokeswoman for Ashton said on Monday.

The meeting is "part of continuing efforts to engage with Iran", following talks between world powers and Iran in Moscow in June which failed to secure a breakthrough in the dispute over Tehran's nuclear program. (Reuters)
