"Right now, the relevant experts in the fields of sanctions relief and economic issues, as well as nuclear and legal matters, are with us, and we are prepared to continue these talks as long as necessary," he said, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-affiliated Fars News Agency reported.
"As far as we are concerned, we are here with full preparedness and seriousness in order to realize the country's national interests."
