Zakharova pointed out that the meeting was expected to share views on the JCPOA implementation.
"The political impetus from the ministers, which will be reinforced by a common understanding of the non-alternative nature of the JCPOA, will allow, as we expect, setting benchmarks and the agenda for future collective work to maintain and implement uninterruptedly the comprehensive agreements enshrined in Resolution 2231 of the United Nations Security Council," she added.
