ISTANBUL, July 25 (Xinhua) — Diplomats from Iran and the EU3 (France, Britain and Germany) have agreed to continue consultations following talks in Istanbul on Friday on lifting sanctions and the nuclear issue, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Kazem Gharibabadi said.

The closed-door meeting took place at the Iranian consulate in Istanbul, with the Iranian delegation led by K. Gharibabadi and Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Majid Takht-Ravanchi.

At the end of the meeting, which lasted about four hours, K. Gharibabadi said on the X social network that Iran and the EU3 countries had held “serious, frank and detailed” discussions on the nuclear issue and the lifting of sanctions.

He added that the Iranian side expressed sharp criticism of the position of European countries regarding the recent conflict between Iran and Israel and reaffirmed its “principled position”, including regarding the snapback mechanism.

The snapback mechanism is a provision in the 2015 nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, that allows other parties to the agreement to reimpose all international sanctions if Iran fails to meet its obligations.

The talks come amid efforts to revive diplomacy on the Iranian nuclear issue after U.S.-Iran talks and broader discussions involving European countries were suspended following Israel's June 13 strike on Iran. –0–

Moscow, July 25 /Xinhua/ — A meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is unlikely before the end of August. The summit should put an end to the settlement of the situation around Ukraine and record all the agreements reached. This is a complex and slow process. This was stated to journalists by the press secretary of the Russian president Dmitry Peskov on Friday.

"A summit meeting can and should put a final point in the settlement and record the modalities and agreements that are to be developed in the course of expert work. Doing the opposite is impossible," D. Peskov emphasized.

"Is it possible to go through such a complex process in 30 days? Obviously, it is unlikely," the Kremlin spokesman said.

Earlier, D. Peskov, commenting on the proposals of the Ukrainian side after the third round of talks in Istanbul on a meeting between V. Putin and V. Zelensky, said that “Kyiv is putting the cart before the horse, proposing to organize a meeting of the leaders of the two countries even before reaching any agreements.” –0–

Moscow, July 25 (Xinhua) — A reception to mark the 98th anniversary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army (PLA), which is celebrated on August 1, was held at the Chinese Embassy in Moscow on Thursday.

The event was attended by employees of diplomatic and military departments of various countries, representatives of the socio-political and expert communities of Russia. Descendants of Russian veterans who fought in China were also invited to the Chinese diplomatic mission.

As Major General Li Yuge, Defense Attaché at the Chinese Embassy in the Russian Federation, noted in his welcoming speech, over the 98 years of its existence, the PLA, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, has played an important role in achieving national independence, liberating the people and ensuring the prosperity of the country.

"Today, the People's Liberation Army of China is following the instructions of Chairman Xi Jinping to strengthen the armed forces and implement a new military strategy for a new era," he said, adding that the PLA is striving to achieve all its goals by its 100th anniversary.

In his speech, the Chinese military attaché also recalled that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Great Patriotic War and the World Anti-Fascist War. He stressed that China and Russia, as the main theaters of military operations in Asia and Europe during World War II, played a decisive role in the victory over fascism. "We deeply honor the memory of all veterans whose outstanding feats ensured victory in the world anti-fascist war. We categorically reject any attempt to distort the historical truth about World War II," he assured.

Speaking about military and military-technical cooperation between China and Russia, Li Yuge said that it has reached the highest level in history. The commanders of the armed forces of the two countries maintain close contacts, the armies constantly expand their professional experience, conduct joint exercises, sea and air patrols, and actively cooperate in training military personnel. “This is conducive to strengthening mutual trust and practical cooperation between the two armies, and contributes to maintaining international peace and regional stability,” the Chinese military officer added.

On behalf of the Russian Ministry of Defense, State Secretary and Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Anna Tsivileva congratulated on the 98th anniversary of the PLA. She noted that a huge path has been covered since the PLA was created on August 1, 1927, and today the Chinese army is one of the most modern and high-tech armies in the world.

As A. Tsivileva stated, China and Russia demonstrate an example of military cooperation and readiness to jointly counter any challenges and threats. “Moreover, all our joint actions are not directed against third countries and are carried out exclusively in the interests of each other,” she pointed out, noting that the consistent development of interaction between the two states in the field of defense, based on a high level of mutual strategic trust, effectively strengthens regional and global security.

A festive concert was prepared for the guests of the Chinese embassy with the participation of artists from the Academic Song and Dance Ensemble of the Russian Army named after A. V. Alexandrov and the legendary Russian ensemble “Beryozka”. A photo exhibition “Remembering the Past, Creating the Future” was also organized in honor of the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggressors and the World Anti-Fascist War, where one could see unique historical photographs from the Xinhua archive. –0–
