Iran Press/Europe: According to the European Union, the meeting will be chaired by Enrique Mora, the Assistant Secretary-General for Political Affairs of the European External Action Service, and will be attended by representatives from China, France, Germany, Russia, the UK, and Iran.
The EU said in a statement that participants in the meeting will discuss the prospect of a possible US return to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and ensuring that the agreement is fully and effectively implemented by all parties.
Earlier, Japan's Kyodo news agency reported that senior Iranian and European officials had met in Germany last Monday to discuss ideas for reviving the JCPOA.
According to the Japanese news agency, another meeting was held on Tuesday between Iran, Russia and China to coordinate political views.
Under Trump's administration, the US government unilaterally withdrew from the JCPOA in defiance of international resolutions and imposed maximum pressure on Iran by imposing unprecedented sanctions, and even during the outbreak of the coronavirus, it prevented Iran from gaining access to its resources in other countries for the import of medicine and food.
Two years after the US withdrew from the JCPOA and the European parties delayed in fulfilling their obligations under the agreement, Iran began to take steps to reduce its obligations and announced that if all sanctions are lifted and the other parties fulfill their obligations, it reverses the compensatory measures.
