News: Iranian diplomats are meeting counterparts from E3 countries for renewed nuclear talks amid warnings of sanctions.
About E3 Countries
- It is an informal foreign and security cooperation arrangement between the UK, Germany and France.
- It was established in 2003, when the UK was still a member of the EU.
- Reason for establishment: The E3 met for the first time after the US attacked Iraq in 2003 to identify a trilateral strategy towards Iraq, and manage nuclear risks coming from Iran.
- Main task: The E3’s main task is to negotiate with Iran due to growing security concerns.
- Feature: It could be described as an informal kind of ‘minilateralism’, i.e. a small group of like-minded parties working together, either outside or inside international organisations.
