The meeting will take place at 13:00 local time in New York on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, reports ILNA.

The meeting will be the first of its kind since Jan. 16 when the historic nuclear deal was implemented.

The P5+1 (China, France, Russia, the UK, the US as well as Germany) reached a historic deal with Iran last year to curb the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program in return for lifting the nuclear related sanctions.

Despite the partial removal of sanctions, many Iranian entities complain that a major part of the US imposed sanctions against the Islamic Republic are still in place making it difficult for them to reintegrate into the world.
