Chinese FM quits Iran talks, team stays behind

AFP News
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi (C) waits before the start of a meeting with the US Secretary of State and others at the Beau Rivage Palace Hotel on March 29, 2015 in Lausanne, Switzerland, during Iran nuclear talks

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi left talks in Switzerland to seal an outline nuclear deal with Iran but his negotiating team remained behind, a Western diplomat said. "His deputy is staying," the diplomat told reporters as the tough negotiations were going down the wire to a midnight deadline. Earlier, a senior US official said that the talks could drag into Wednesday, while an Iranian negotiator said his team was ready to keep talking "as long as necessary."
