Rafsanjani said on Saturday that the progress of nuclear talks will result in energy security at the international level and stability in the region.
The two-day talks between Iran and the six world powers began in Geneva, Switzerland, on Thursday.
Negotiations, however, stretched into an unscheduled third day as negotiators pressed for a deal on Iran’s civilian nuclear work
Rafsanjani hailed the remarks made by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei about supporting Iran’s nuclear negotiating team as significant.
“These guidelines strengthened the determination of Iran’s negotiating team to continue talks and the world realized that the negotiating team has the support of the Leader and therefore the [support of the Iranian] people and officials,” Rafsanjani added.
On November 3, Ayatollah Khamenei defended the Iranian negotiating team against criticism, saying no one should undermine, insult or label them as being inclined toward reaching a compromise over Iran's nuclear energy program.
“The presence of the foreign ministers of P5+1 in Geneva indicates that talks have entered a new stage,” Rafsanjani added.
US Secretary of State John Kerry, British Foreign Secretary William Hague as well as German, French and Russian foreign ministers, Guido Westerwelle, Laurent Fabius and Sergei Lavrov respectively, joined the nuclear talks in Geneva on Friday.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif is holding talks with Kerry and EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton after meeting with Westerwelle, Hague and Fabius earlier on Saturday.
