In response to a media question about China's expectations for the Beijing meeting between China, Russia and Iran on the Iranian nuclear issue to be held on Friday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning stated that China has released information about this upcoming meeting. As a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council and a participant in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), China has consistently advocated for properly resolving the Iranian nuclear issue through political and diplomatic means, maintaining the international non-proliferation regime, and promoting peace and stability in the Middle East. 

Mao said the meeting represents China's latest diplomatic effort aimed at enhancing communication and coordination, creating conditions for the early resumption of dialogue and negotiations. In the current situation, we hope that all parties involved will remain calm and exercise restraint to avoid escalating tensions and even moving towards confrontation and conflict, Mao said.

China sincerely hopes that all parties can meet each other half way, continuously build trust and dispel doubts, and translate the momentum for resuming dialogue and negotiations into reality at an early date, according to Mao.
