The ambassador recalled that a trilateral meeting of the deputy foreign ministers of Russia, China and Iran was held in Beijing on March 14 to discuss the nuclear issue.

"Russia is a full participant in the negotiation process, it has always been part of the five—party format, and after the US withdrawal from the JCPOA, it remained among the countries in the 4+1 format. We have ongoing consultations with Russia," Kazem Jalali said.

Earlier, on February 18, the Iranian dossier was discussed at the Russian-American talks in Riyadh.
