A Russian Foreign Ministry official said that preparations are underway to organize the second meeting of the 3+3 (3+2) platform.
Russian Foreign Ministry Fourth Department of CIS Countries Director Denis Gonchar told RIA Novosti that the “doors remain open for Georgia,” referring to Georgia opting out from the first meeting. He said, “3 + 3 agenda fully corresponds to the interests of Georgia.”
“At this moment the second session of the 3+3 regional consultative platform is being prepared. The date and venue will be announced later,” he said.
The first meeting was held in late 2021 in Moscow and was co-chaired by the deputy foreign ministers of Armenia, Russia, Turkey and Azerbaijan, as well as the Director-General of the Iranian MFA.
According to Gonchar, the implementation of mutually beneficial projects in the spheres of trade, energy, industry, innovative technologies, and modernization of infrastructures is a priority.
