German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said on Friday that Germany and its European partners are open to further discussions with Iran if Tehran shows a serious desire to provide guarantees regarding its nuclear and missile programs.
"My colleagues in Britain and France, as well as the (EU) foreign policy chief, always emphasize our readiness for dialogue," Vadephul added, ahead of a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi in Geneva, according to Al-Sharq News Channel.
He continued,"This requires a serious willingness from Iran to abandon any nuclear enrichment that could lead to nuclear weapons. This also requires including its missile program. If this serious willingness is present, the result from our side is that we are prepared to hold further talks."
