Rouhani Will Confer With Chinese Leader in June

President Hassan Rouhani will attend a summit with his Chinese and Russian counterparts next month, officials in Beijing said Monday, as they try to salvage the nuclear deal thrown into upheaval by US President Donald Trump.
China, Russia and European powers, all of which signed the 2015 Iran nuclear accord, are scrambling to save the pact following the Trump's decision to quit the agreement and reinstate sanctions, AFP reported.
“Our hope is that China and Iran will have close consultation on the basis of observing the deal and push forward development of bilateral cooperation,” Chinese deputy foreign minister, Zhang Hanhui, said at a briefing.
“We should together look into how to avoid major disruption of joint projects between the two sides,” he added, Reuters reported.
