Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said at the meeting of high-ranking delegations of Iran and Switzerland that European countries should denounce US unilateral behavior in the world.
Iranian President noted that all European countries are supposed to explicitly and openly support multilateralism in the world and condemn current American policy of unilateralism to underline the path of honouring international agreements and commitments.
Rouhani and President Alain Berset of the Swiss Confederation jointly chaired the meeting of high-ranking delegations of Iran and Switzerland.
“The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was a good opening in further development of relations between Iran and other friendly countries. This agreement is very important for increasing regional and global trust, security and development and Iran has been fully committed to all its obligations since the beginning,” added Iranian President.
“Today, one of the parties has not only withdrawn from the deal in an illegal move, but is also threatening other parties not to be committed to their obligations,” Rouhani noted.
Rouhani also said, “the Islamic Republic of Iran is determined to develop its friendly relations with the world, the European Union and especially Switzerland and we expect that Bern and all other European countries explicitly denounce the current policy of the US government in unilateralism."
Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif discussed bilateral issues with Swiss Foreign Affairs Minister Ignazio Cassis in a separate meeting.
