Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said Tuesday that the new round of nuclear talks between Iran and the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council plus Germany (G5+1) will start "soon."

Mehmanparast told reporters in his weekly press briefing that a number of countries have announced to host the talks, but the decisions on the venue and time have not been finalized yet.

Asked about the probable "agreements" in the new round of nuclear talks, he said that "It depends on the subjects to be put forward by the parties."

"All countries can enjoy the privileges of nuclear technology for peaceful purposes within the framework of the Non- Proliferation Treaty (NPT) regulations," he added.
