Mikhail Ulyanov, the permanent representative of Russia to international organizations in Vienna, said in a post on his X account that the tripartite meeting was held on Wednesday.

“Today China, Iran and Russia held yet another round of traditional trilateral consultations on the Iranian nuclear dossier. We compared notes and coordinated our positions on the eve of the next IAEA Board of Governors’ session, which will take place from 19 to 21 November,” the Russian diplomat said.

The IAEA Board generally meets five times per year: in March and June, twice in September (before and after the General Conference) and in November.
