According to state-run ANSA news agency, Tajani expressed Italy's readiness to welcome meetings that could lead to positive results, particularly regarding Iran's nuclear issue.

This announcement follows the first round of US-Iran nuclear talks, which took place in Muscat, the capital of Oman, on Saturday.
