Earlier on 10 Jun 2018 ,Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and Chinese President Xi Jinping in their meeting on the sidelines of the SCO summit in the Chinese port city of Qingdao also exchanged views on issues of mutual interest and the avenues of bilateral cooperation as well as the case of the JCPOA- also known as the Iran nuclear deal. Both Iran and China are signatories to the nuclear deal.
Chinese Ambassador to the UN Ma Zhaoxu also described the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) as an important multilateral achievement and a success story in addressing hot-spot issues through diplomatic means.
"The JCPOA had proven to be an effective agreement over three years", Chinese Ambassador to the UN added.
Zhaoxu called upon all parties to take a responsible attitude, consider the long term, commit to dialogue, and cooperate with patience in order to preserve the accord's authority.
China would continue to participate in the procurement working group, as it has consistently advocated resolution of the issue through diplomatic means, and would maintain dialogue with all parties concerned in implementing the JCPOA, Chinese Ambassador to the UN concluded.
On May 8, U.S. President Donald Trump decided to quit the landmark nuclear deal and vowed to reimpose sanctions, including oil embargo, on Tehran, triggering global criticism.
Following America's withdrawal, Iran and the remaining parties launched talks to save the accord. 203/ 211 /103
