The meeting will discuss implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and give political guidance to the follow-up implementation of the Iran nuclear deal, Lu told a routine press briefing.

According to the JCPOA, all nuclear-related sanctions imposed on Iran will be removed if the country proved abides by the deal over the next few years.
