伊朗外長稱雙方有意加快伊核會談
Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif says his meeting Wednesday with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry shows that Iran and a group of world powers are ready to "speed up" their negotiations on Iran's nuclear program.
Just before the meeting in Geneva began, Zarif called the talks with Kerry "important," and that "all issues are easy if we resolve them."
在日內瓦會晤開始前，扎裏夫稱與克里的會談很“重要”. 他說，“只要我們對問題加以解決，一切都很容易。”Kerry did not comment before the meeting. He said earlier this week his discussions with Zarif would be a chance for the diplomats to assess where the two sides stand.
克里在會晤前沒有發表講話。克里本週早些時候說，他與扎裏夫的討論使得外交人員有評估雙方立場的機會。
Lower-level negotiations are due to resume on Thursday.
低級別談判定於星期四恢復。It has been two months since the two sides decided to extend the negotiations after failing to agree by their self-imposed November deadline.
雙方由於沒能在去年11月最後期限前達成協議而決定延長談判至今，已經兩個月了。Now, about six weeks remain before their goal of having a framework in place for a deal that would address concerns about possible military applications of the Iranian nuclear program in exchange for easing sanctions that have hurt the country's economy.
現在距達成一個框架協議的目標還有大約6個星期的時間。最後協議的目的是緩解對伊朗核項目可能用於軍事目的的擔心，以換取解除傷及伊朗經濟的制裁措施。The deadline for a final agreement is July 1.
達成最後協議的最後期限是7月1日。
