Iran, Russia, China discuss Tehran's nuclear programme at Beijing meeting
Briefly

Diplomats from Iran, Russia, and China gathered in Beijing to discuss Tehran's nuclear program, indicating a potential shift towards renewed negotiations. The meeting involved senior officials who emphasized the importance of maintaining calm to avoid escalating tensions surrounding Iran's nuclear ambitions. This diplomatic effort comes after years of stalled negotiations, especially following the US withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear agreement. China's Foreign Ministry highlighted the need for diplomatic solutions, setting a tone for collaborative discussions amidst ongoing geopolitical challenges.
In the current situation, we believe that all parties should maintain calm and restraint to avoid escalating the Iran nuclear situation, or even walking towards confrontation and conflict, China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told reporters before the meeting.
The meeting was attended by Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov and Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi, who exchanged views on the Iran nuclear issue and other issues of common concern.
The meeting in Beijing between the three diplomats follows a series of overtures from Trump since his return to the White House in January to resume nuclear talks with Tehran.
After Donald Trump withdrew from the landmark 2015 pact, Tehran rolled back its commitments, leading to increased tensions and a complex diplomatic landscape.
