Iran’s Ambassador to Russia Kazem Jalali said on April 7 that a trilateral meeting between Iran, Russia, and China on the nuclear issue will take place in Moscow on Tuesday.

Jalali told IRNA in an interview on Monday that the Islamic Republic is engaged in ongoing discussions with both Russia and China regarding bilateral issues and developments in international and regional affairs, including the nuclear issue. 

He added that Iran, Russia, and China have previously held meetings to coordinate their positions in international forums and to work toward a productive negotiating solution related to the removal of Western sanctions.

These meetings have taken place in both Beijing and at the headquarters of international organizations in Vienna. Jalali emphasized that the upcoming meeting will build on the progress made in earlier discussions.

The ambassador also noted that Iran is consistently consulting with other parties concerning the nuclear issue, highlighting a recent meeting of experts from Iran and the three European countries as part of these consultations.

Earlier on Monday at his weekly press conference, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said that Iran will soon have a meeting at the level of deputy ministers with European diplomats.

According to IRNA, the Kremlin said on Monday that Russia was ready to do all it could to help resolve tensions between the United States and Iran.
