Beijing is set to host a pivotal trilateral meeting involving China, Russia, and Iran on March 14, focusing on the Iranian nuclear issue and other shared concerns. The Chinese Foreign Ministry confirmed the diplomatic gathering, underscoring its aim to facilitate dialogue amid heightened global scrutiny over regional stability.
Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu will lead the discussions, joined by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov Sergey Alexeevich and Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi. The talks are expected to address Iran’s nuclear program, a longstanding source of international tension, while exploring avenues for multilateral cooperation.
Observers note the meeting highlights China’s growing role as a mediator in complex geopolitical disputes. “This trilateral dialogue could signal a renewed push for diplomatic solutions in a region often defined by division,” said a Beijing-based analyst speaking on background. The outcomes may interest global investors monitoring energy markets and academics tracking shifting alliances in Asia.
