Lausanne - France urged Iran on Friday to make "new efforts" to clinch a long-sought nuclear deal with global powers, as Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius prepared to join marathon talks hurtling towards a deadline.
"We wish to have an agreement and it is possible, but there has to be new progress," Fabius told reporters ahead of his trip to Lausanne, Switzerland, intending to join the negotiations early on Saturday.
"There has to be new efforts from our Iranian partners," he insisted.
