United States President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping talked about how to harmonise their positions in the resumption of negotiations with Iran on reviving the 2015 nuclear deal, a top US official said on Tuesday.

Officials from Iran and the six nations that struck the pact – the United Kingdom, China, France, Germany, Russia and the US – will meet in Vienna on November 29 to see if Tehran and Washington can agree to renew indirect talks on the UN-recognised agreement under which Iran curbed its nuclear program to gain relief from Western economic sanctions.
