(14 Jan 2016) German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier is hopeful that a deal on the Iran nuclear programme can be fully implemented "within a very short period".
As reasons for his optimism he pointed to the fact that Iran had taken most of the enriched uranium outside the country "relatively speedily".
Steinmeier spoke on Thursday as the new head of the rotating Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) chairmanship.
The German foreign minister also stressed that migration will be a big part of the issues facing Germany's chairmanship in 2016.
He said that the problems posed by the large influx of migrants into Europe could only be solved by tackling its root causes, "violence and persecution in the Middle East," and reiterated his wish for a fairer distribution of migrants across the continent.
