Senior Iranian and U.S. officials will hold bilateral talks in the Swiss city of Geneva on Sunday evening to discuss Tehran's long-disputed nuclear program.

As with the schedule, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad-Javad Zarif and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry will meet to hammer out the last attempts for a political framework before the end-of-March deadline.

The Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), Ali-Akbar Salehi, and U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz, who have attended this round of talks, will also join the meeting.

Earlier in the day, Salehi and Moniz held a bilateral meeting to discuss the technical aspects of the Iranian nuclear work as part of the negotiations between Iran and the P5+1 group, including five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany, according to Press TV.

On Friday, the U.S. and Iranian officials headed into a new round of talks in Geneva to resume their efforts to end the 12-year standoff over the Iran's controversial nuclear program.

It has been over a year since Iran and the world powers agreed to come back to the negotiating table for the nuclear problems in 2013. However, wide differences have kept all talking sides from arriving at a final deal.

The negotiators agreed in November 2014 to extend the deadline for another seven months and aimed to reach a political framework deal by the end of March.
