China in the session of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governor (BoG) stressed that all the parties should adopt pragmatic strategies in the Iranian Nuclear Talks. The Chinese delegation stated that the unilateral decisions in the JCPOA will affect the peace and prosperity of the world. Therefore, the parties should uphold multilateralism.
The Chinese diplomatic envoy to Vienna also emphasized creating a comfortable environment for the Iranian Nuclear Talks. The parties should build mutual trust by showing goodwill for each other. A positive atmosphere is necessary for the successful resumption of the talks.
China urges US to lift all the JCPOA related sanctions from Iran
It also urged the United States to take the first step to show goodwill for Iran as it was the United States which withdrew from the JCPOA. The U.S. withdrew from the JCPOA unilaterally under the government of President Donald Trump. The unilateral withdrawal of the United States halted the talks process. The U.S. after its withdrawal also put new sanctions on Iran. Since the Vienna talks are going to resume, therefore China urged the U.S. to lift all the JCPOA related sanctions from the Iranian government. It will help to build mutual trust between the two parties. After the lifting of sanctions, Iran will recommence the implementation of the JCPOA.
The United States, China, Russia, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom were upholding the Nuclear Deal with Iran under the framework of JCPOA. The U.S. unilateral withdrawal from the JCPOA in 2018 halted the Iranian Nuclear Deal. The U.S. also imposed several sanctions on the Iranian government after its withdrawal which created distrust between the parties. Due to sanctions, Iran resumed uranium enrichment.
China has appreciated the Iranian decision to resume the Nuclear talks. China stated that the Iranian decision will strengthen the peace and security of the region. The talks will help to build a multilateral settlement of the issue. Therefore, there is no place for unilateral decisions. All the concerned parties of the JCPOA need to adopt pragmatic strategies for the peace and stability of the region.
