The nuclear deal with Iran will be discussed on Friday at a video conference chaired by the EU Commission.
The talks should be about "the prospect of a possible return of the United States" to the agreement and the "full and effective implementation of the agreement by all contracting parties," said EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell on Thursday evening.
Accordingly, representatives from China, France, Germany, Russia, Great Britain and Iran will take part in the virtual meeting.
The United States withdrew from the nuclear deal in 2018 under the then President Donald Trump and imposed new sanctions on Iran.
As a result, Tehran gradually withdrew from its obligations under the agreement.
Trump's successor Joe Biden has agreed to new negotiations with Tehran.
He wants to revive the agreement, but demands that Tehran abide by the agreement before the sanctions are lifted.
Iran, on the other hand, is making the lifting of US punitive measures a prerequisite for the country's full compliance with the agreement.
