China, Russia and Iran held a joint meeting with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Thursday, focusing on Iran’s nuclear programme.
The session came shortly after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi visited Beijing earlier in the week. According to China's state news agency Xinhua, the talks were described as an "in-depth exchange" with IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi.
China expressed support for continued dialogue between Iran and all parties involved, including the United States, as part of a broader push for a diplomatic solution to the long-running nuclear standoff.
The meeting also underlined Beijing’s position that the IAEA should play a constructive role in facilitating political and diplomatic efforts rather than escalating tensions.
No formal statement was issued about the outcome or next steps following the trilateral discussions.
