President Nicolas Sarkozy will on Wednesday meet Iran’s foreign minister in Paris in a move aimed at paving the way to a resumption of dialogue between six world powers and Tehran over its nuclear ambitions.

The talks between the French president and Manouchehr Mottaki at the Elysée palace is the highest level contact in recent years between a European leader and a senior Iranian politician.
