Talks between the United States and Iran will not make significant progress before President Donald Trump meets with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping later this week, according to a regional source close to the negotiation process.
The source told CNN that movement in the talks will depend on the results of President Trump's visit to Beijing.
The source stressed that it was "highly likely" that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi would be in Delhi for the BRICS Foreign Ministers' meeting on Thursday and Friday, the same days that Trump is in Beijing.
The source told CNN that Araghchi's presence at the BRICS meeting "is significant," as the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia and Egypt are also likely to be present. Egypt and Saudi Arabia are among the countries facilitating the dialogue between the US and Iran, which is being mediated by Pakistan.
The Saudi and Egyptian foreign ministers have not yet confirmed their participation in the conference.
" China will be an important player in ensuring the continuation of the dialogue ," the source added.
