The Arab countries due to participate in the meeting are Egypt, Iraq, Jordan and the members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), a trade bloc involving the six Arab states of the Persian Gulf.
"We will take part in this meeting and will urge using this process to support the work of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)," Sergei Lavrov told a press conference after a meeting of the Middle East Quartet on Monday.
Tehran is under three sets of relatively mild UN Security Council sanctions over its refusal to suspend its nuclear program, which many Western powers led by the U.S. and Israel say is a covert nuclear weapons program, a claim that Iran has dismissed.
"We will avoid any measure that could complicate this work or make it impossible," Lavrov stressed.
Russia has called for the Iran Six group, which also involves the U.S., China, France, Great Britain, and Germany, to support the work of the UN nuclear watchdog, while the U.S. and other nations are in favor of extending sanctions against Iran.
