According to Araghchi, both sides still have issues to work on.
I can say that compared to the previous round, we had very serious discussions, and there was a constructive atmosphere in which we exchanged views. These ideas were discussed, and we reached some agreements and some basic principles. And based on these principles, we will eventually prepare a draft document.
He expressed hope that this would be achieved, adding that "when we reach the stage of preparing a draft document, the process will naturally slow down."
