ASTANA (Reuters) - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Wednesday said the United States was encouraged by Iran's decision to join talks in Geneva this month and that the talks would focus on the Islamic Republic's nuclear program.
"We are encouraged that Iran has agreed to meet in Geneva next week," Clinton said in the Kazakh capital of Astana.
"This is an opportunity for Iran to come to the table and discuss the matters that are of concern to the international community: first and foremost their nuclear program," she said.
