Iran, world powers agree to expert talks on Tehran's nuclear program


Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev (R) welcomes Iranian nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili in Almaty on Monday.

Almaty, Kazakhstan (CNN) -- Diplomats emerged Wednesday from an unusually secretive round of talks over Iran's controversial nuclear program with a joint announcement to hold a follow-up meeting within weeks.

In a joint statement, the European Union's foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton, and the chief Iranian negotiator, Saeed Jalili, announced that technical experts would meet in Istanbul, Turkey, on March 18.

Political directors would later reconvene in this snowbound Kazakhstani city on April 5.

Iranian negotiators and representatives of the P5 plus 1 nations -- the permanent members of the U.N. Security Council and Germany -- entered into the talks Tuesday in Almaty, Kazakhstan, before the backdrop of fresh international economic sanctions against Iran.

Their crippling effect has fueled resentment in Tehran.
