Araqchi to Visit Russia to Discuss JCPOA, Iran-US Talks
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi is scheduled to visit Russia this week for talks about the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and the recent negotiations between Iran and the US, a spokesperson said Monday.
Asked by Tasnim whether Iran will brief the JCPOA parties about the recent talks with the US, Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said, “The JCPOA is a living and existent agreement in legal terms. It also has definite parties and we will proceed with interaction and consultations under the JCPOA. These interactions will be beneficial and this process will go on.”
He announced that Araqchi is scheduled to visit Russia this week, noting that the trip had been planned beforehand.
The Iranian foreign minister is going to hold consultations in Russia about the negotiations with the US, Baqaei stated.
The spokesman said Iran’s dialogue with the European parties is also in progress.
Delegations from Iran and the US held a round of indirect talks in Muscat on Saturday, mediated by the foreign minister of Oman.
The two sides, led by Araqchi and the US president’s special envoy Steve Witkoff, have expressed satisfaction with the initial steps.
The next round of negotiations is scheduled for April 19.
