QUESTION: Is this a response to the Almaty proposal or is this a totally new beginning for you?

MS. PSAKI: Well, with the new government we have begun anew at the P5+1. So we’re of course conscious of all that has come before. That has been informative and is on our minds, in the minds of the delegation. But all of this – and all at this meeting of course understood, and still understand as we continue to pursue these, the stakes. But I would look at this as a – as I said, a more substantive discussion of technical details and we’re going to pursue this road moving forward.

QUESTION: So they didn’t actually formally respond to the Almaty proposal?

MS. PSAKI: Well, remember the Almaty proposal was our proposal. Obviously, they had their own proposal they talked about. What – whether there were overlapping details, I’m not going to get into the specifics of that. But what’s important here is that we see a new opening, as we’ve talked about a bit, with the new government, and we saw a level of discussion and a level of technical discussion we haven’t seen before. So we’re moving on that road.

QUESTION: So regardless of whether they have finally produced the response to the Almaty proposal, which you never had previously gotten, whatever it is they put on the table was sufficiently substantive as a basis for you to move forward?

MS. PSAKI: To continue the discussion.

QUESTION: Okay.

MS. PSAKI: Sure.
