He stressed that all relevant parties to the JCPOA had maintained close communication and consultation, and the parties emphasized that they would be firmly committed to maintaining and implementing the agreement and fulfilling their responsibilities and obligations.
"China will work with relevant parties to continue making efforts for that goal and firmly safeguard its own legitimate rights and interests," he added.
