Iran's chief negotiator said on Saturday the trend at nuclear talks between world powers and Iran "has naturally slowed a little" but there was still progress, Iranian state media reported.
"As we start the writing of drafts, in some areas the trend has naturally slowed down a little, however, the trend is moving forward," Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi was quoted as saying by state media after a session of the talks in Vienna.
Meanwhile, Russia and Western European powers gave contrasting accounts of the task ahead in talks to bring Iran and the United States fully back into compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal, as the talks adjourned for six days.
