Japan may be granted some waivers from the U.S.-led sanctions against Iran, Kyodo News reported Friday, citing Foreign Minister Koichiro Gemba.
"Steady progress was made in a good atmosphere" in respect to both Japan's cooperation with the U.S. to address the Iranian nuclear issue and request a waiver from the sanctions, Gemba told reporters in Tokyo when asked about the outcome of the second round of talks on the matter between the two countries.
He also said the Japanese government wants to "conclude the consultations as soon as possible", although he refused to go into detail as negotiations are still ongoing with the United States.
