"Yes, it [the summit] is planned. We are preparing to hold it early next year. It will depend on the pandemic situation. But in general, we have agreed to hold the summit. Most likely, we will be able to hold it in February or March," the Iranian diplomat said told TASS.
Khaji said the issue was on the agenda of talks in Nur-Sultan and will be reflected in a separate provision of the guarantor nations’ final statement.
When asked whether the summit will be preceded by a foreign ministers’ meeting, he replied, "Yes, we have agreed on the matter. It will be next year. In January or early February, we will hold a meeting of foreign ministers, and a summit will follow that."
He also said that the next international Astana format meeting on Syria will be convened within a few weeks after the summit of Russia, Iran, and Turkey. "It [the date] depends on the summit, several weeks after the summit," the Iranian diplomat said.
On July 1, 2020, Russian, Iranian and Turkish leaders held an online summit dedicated to Syrian regulation, discussing the prospects of a face-to-face meeting in Tehran when the epidemiological situation improves.
