China Says Essential To Uphold Iranian Nuclear Pact

Beijing: China on Wednesday urged all parties to uphold the Iranian nuclear deal after Tehran announced to partially pull out of the pact by resuming high uranium enrichment. Beijing, a party to the pact inked in 2015, also said it regretted the unilateral actions by the US against Iran that pushed Tehran to the brink of withdrawing from the agreement.

“Upholding and implementing the joint commission of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) is the common responsibility of all the parties. We call on all parties to exercise restraint and strengthen dialogue and avoid escalation of tensions,” said Chinese Foreign Ministry’s spokesperson Geng Shuang.

“We will be in communication with all parties to continue to uphold the treaty and the legitimate rights of Iran.” “China applauds Iran’s faithful implementation of the JCPOA so far... and firmly opposes the US’ unilateral sanctions. We regret the US actions that have escalated the tensions surrounding the Iranian nuclear issue,” he added. (IANS)
