British Foreign Secretary William Hague and German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle are heading to the Swiss city of Geneva to attend the nuclear negotiations between Iran and six major world powers.
Hague said on Friday that he would join landmark talks as Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany seek to reach a nuclear agreement.

"Heading to Geneva for Iran nuclear talks," Hague said on his official Twitter account.

The British foreign secretary will join US Secretary of State John Kerry and his French and German counterparts Laurent Fabius and Guido Westerwelle, respectively, in Geneva.

The unplanned visits by the foreign ministers come after Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Thursday that it is “possible” for Tehran and the six world powers to reach a deal over Iran’s nuclear issue during the two-day talks, which began on Thursday.

Zarif further expressed hope that other parties to nuclear negotiations will enter the talks with “seriousness,” saying, “We expect serious negotiations and [believe that] it is possible to reach a deal.”

The Iranian minister canceled his planned trip to the Italian capital of Rome on Friday to stay in Geneva.
