VIENNA, November 23 (Sputnik)�� US Secretary of�State John Kerry is currently holding talks with�German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier within�the framework of�negotiations between�the P5+1 group of�international mediators and Tehran on Iranian nuclear program, a source in�the US delegation told RIA Novosti.

Later on�Sunday, Steinmeier, Kerry, UK Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius and EU chief negotiator Catherine Ashton are expected to�hold a working dinner.

Kerry will also reportedly meet with�the Foreign Minister of�Saudi Arabia Saud Faisal to�inform him about�the course of�the talks.

"Kerry will meet with�Saudi Foreign Minister on�Sunday to�update him on�talks," a source close to�the US delegation told Sputnik.

Earlier in�the day, a source in�the Russian delegation told RIA Novosti that Russian Foreign Minister�Sergei Lavrov�will be arriving in�Vienna on�Sunday, as�well.
The final round�of talks on�the Iranian nuclear program between�Tehran and the�P5+1�group of�international negotiators comprising Russia, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, China and Germany, began in�Vienna Tuesday.
Tehran claims its nuclear development is aimed purely at�civilian needs, such as�meeting the country's growing energy needs. However, the West suspects Iran of�developing a nuclear weapon under�the guise of�a peaceful program. Iran's earlier nuclear activities triggered the imposition of�sanctions by�the UN Security Council, the United States and the European Union.

In 2013, international negotiators agreed to�reach a long-term deal with�Tehran that would guarantee a peaceful nature of�the Iranian nuclear program by�July 2014; however the�deadline�was later postponed to�November 24.
