US Secretary of State John Kerry is in London on Sunday and Monday for talks on Iran with EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, and on Syria with peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi.

According to Voice of Russia, AFP,Kerry flew into London on Sunday from Kabul, at the end of a 10-day trip around Asia.

He was due to have lunch with Ashton on Sunday behind closed doors to discuss Iran’s nuclear programme, a State Department official told reporters travelling with Kerry.

The lunch comes ahead of fresh talks between world powers and Iran, amid raised hopes of a less hardline approach from the Islamic republic’s new president.

The two-day meeting in Geneva, starting Tuesday, will be the first such negotiations sincepresident  Hassan Rouhani took office in August.

The US is sending Wendy Sherman, the undersecretary of state for political affairs. On Monday morning, Kerry was to meet Brahimi, the United Nations envoy on Syria.

They were also due to speak to press, the State Department said.Their talks will likely revolve around preparations for long-stalled so-called “Geneva-2” peace talks aimed at finding a political solution to the crisis  in Syria.
